Featured Locations On This Scavenger Hunt
Ishigakiyama Castle Ruins
This epic mountaintop ruins site is legendary for it's sense of surprise. A fortress built in a flash, a masterstroke of military drama, and boasting a panoramic view fit for a warlord, there is an undeniable energy to the stones that remain.
Hayakawa Stone Quarries
Venture to the banks of the Hayakawa and you connect with the muscle behind mighty castles. Among mossy stones, you will find the ancient handiwork of masons whose labor powered sieges and summit fortresses. It is a legacy carved into the hillside.
Odawara Railway Bridge Remains
Peer into the world of Hakone’s very first railway tourists. Old stones and bricks left behind by the Maeda Bridge mark a leap from mountain trails to modern travel—where holidaymakers from Tokyo once stepped into a world of hot springs and forests.
Shiraishi Jizoson Statue
Guarded for centuries by a humble spirit of protection, this stone figure has watched over travelers braving Hakone’s winding roads. In local life, kindness and hope find a home in small acts and offerings left at the feet of this guardian.
Birthplace of Hakone Onsen
Where steam rises from the earth, a tradition of relaxation and healing was born. These springs shaped Hakone into a world-famous rejuvenation retreat. Unwind in the presence of centuries of wellness seekers and local legend.
Kanrei Tunnel
Deep within the mountains, this early tunnel forged a gateway between old and new. Every passage marks a ride from tradition to transformation, symbolic of Hakone’s evolution into a hub for visitors near and far.
Yumoto Milestone
A quiet stone witness stands at the gateway to Hakone, marking journeys of all stripes. This is more than a relic—it is a relic that measured the progress, dreams, and exhaustion of countless Edo-period travelers taking on Hakone’s legendary slopes.
Cobbled Road at Sarusawa
Let us wander down a path trodden by samurai and pilgrims alike. These stones underfoot once bore the weight of daimyos in grand procession and hopeful travelers seeking new horizons. Framed by towering cedars, this stretch of road whispers stories from Japan’s busiest historical highway. There is engineering marvel and effort layered in each step.
