Hakone
The area centering on Mt. Hakone and Lake Ashinoko in Hakone, Kanagawa, has been considered a sacred place for mountain worship since ancient times. In the Edo period, the area became one of the 53 Stations of the Tokaido Highway, and as a transportation hub, it developed into a post town based around the checkpoint. There are many hot springs here, and the area is visited by many people from inside and outside of Japan as an international tourist destination.
