Itinerary
Hakone Sekisho was an important barrier established to monitor the Tokaido Highway during the Edo period. It is the only one of the 50-odd barrier stations in the country during the Edo period that has been completely restored using the skills and tools of the masters of the time.
The underwater torii of Hakone Shrine is one of the most popular ‘Instagram’ spots in Hakone. It is visited by many people, including foreign tourists, every day. This underwater torii was built 67 years ago, in 1952, to commemorate His Majesty the Emperor Imajo's Risshiki Rei and the signing of the Peace Treaty at the time of Japan's independence.

About Shizuoka
Shizuoka is a city on Suruga Bay in tea country, with Mount Fuji on the horizon, a castle park and shrines tied to the shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu.
Shizuoka lies on the Pacific coast of central Japan, on Suruga Bay, with the Southern Alps and Mount Fuji on the horizon. Tokugawa Ieyasu, who unified Japan under his shogunate, retired to Sunpu, as the city was called, and its castle park with moats and stone walls stands in the centre. His first resting place, the Kunozan Toshogu shrine, sits on a hill reached by ropeway from the Nihondaira plateau, which has views over the bay and Fuji.
