Hakone National Park is part of the Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park, less than 100 kilometers from Tokyo. Famous for its volcanic landscapes and hot springs, Hakone National Park is one of the most popular destinations among Japanese and international tourists. Get a panoramic view of the National Park from the aerial cable car, see smoking volcanic activity, and sample some volcanic cooked black eggs. Enjoy a delightful boat ride across Lake Ashi and take in the great views from the lake. Hakone Checkpoint was an important checkpoint that controlled traffic as well as weapons along the Tokaido highway which linked Tokyo with Kyoto during the feudal Edo Period. There were as many as 50 different checkpoints in the country during this time, but they were all abandoned when the Edo Period ended. The Hakone Checkpoint is the only checkpoint of that period which has been restored to its original state. Hakone Shrine stands at the foot of Mt. Hakone along the shores of Lake Ashi. Founded in 757, this shrine is known for its large red torii gate that stands in the lake.
