Hakone-juku

Hakone-juku

nihongo|Hakone-juku|箱根宿|Hakone-juku was the tenth of the fifty-three stations of the Tōkaidō. It is located in the present-day town of Hakone in Ashigarashimo District, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. At an elevation of 725m, it is the highest post station on the entire Tōkaidō and was even difficult for the "bakufu" to maintain.

History

Hakone-juku was established in 1618, in a small area between Hakone Pass (on Mount Hakone) and the Hakone Checkpoint. [http://www.ktr.mlit.go.jp/yokohama/tokaido/02_tokaido/01_aruku/1100.htm Hakone-juku o Aruku] . Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport. Accessed December 10, 2007.] The original Hakone-juku was on the Edo (modern-day Tokyo) side of the Hakone Checkpoint; however, the people living there at the time refused to build a "honjin" to create a new post station. As a result, the post town was developed on the side of the checkpoint heading towards Kyoto. The first settlers in the new post town originally lived in either Odawara-juku or Mishima-shuku, the neighboring post stations, but were forced to Hakone-juku.
