Hakone (箱根町 , Hakone-machi ) is a town in Ashigarashimo District in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. As of June 2012, the town had an estimated population of 13,492 and a population density of 145 persons per km². The total area was 92.82 km².
Hakone has been designated as a Geopark by UNESCO.
Hakone is the location of a noted Shinto shrine, the Hakone Gongen, which is mentioned in Heian period literature. During the Gempei War, Minamoto no Yoritomo prayed at this shrine for victory over his enemies, after his defeat at the Battle of Ishibashiyama, which was is located in neighboring Manazuru. As with the rest of Sagami Province, the area came under the control of the late Hōjō clan of Odawara during the Sengoku period. After the start of the Edo period, Hakone-juku was a post station on the Tōkaidō highway connecting Edo with Kyoto. It was also the site of a major barrier and official checkpoint on the route known as the Hakone Checkpoint (箱根関所 Hakone sekisho?), which formed the border of the Kantō region. Under the Tokugawa shogunate, all travellers entering and leaving Edo along the Tōkaidō were stopped here by officials. Their travel permits and baggage were examined to enforce Tokugawa laws that restricted the travel of women and weapons.
After the start of the Meiji Restoration, Hakone became a part of the short-lived Ashigara Prefecture before becoming part of Ashigarashimo District in Kanagawa prefecture in August 1876. Hakone attained town status in 1889. After merger with five neighboring towns and villages in September 1956, it reached its present boundaries.
HIKING IN JAPAN | Amazing Autumn Leaves in 4K | 弘法山
Mt. Kobo is one of the popular and easy hiking spot in Kanagawa Prefecture in Japan. This course goes through 4 mountains(Mt.Asama, Mt.Gongen, Mt.Kobo and Mt.Azuma) and I enjoyed the views of amazing autumn leaves. I highly recommend this mountain because Mt. Kobo is a welcome escape from the hustle and bustle of the city.
I hope you enjoy watching my hiking video.
