Today, I take you to Hakone, a very charming onsen town 1.5 hour away from Tokyo. We were super lucky cause the weather was perfect to see the gorgeous Mt Fuji. ☀️
We will start this video at a historical place: Hakone Tokaido Checkpoint. The Tokaido is an old road that used to link Kyoto and Tokyo during the Edo period. During that time, all people going to Tokyo via the Tokaido road had to go through Hakone checkpoint. This particular checkpoint was considered very strict and the officials use to control the identity of all the travellers passing here.
After the checkpoint, we will get to the top of Onshi Hakone park! We will walk through a beautiful forest with huge cedar trees until we get to the top of the park. As the weather was sunny, we managed to see Mount Fuji very clearly. So beautiful isn’t it?
