History of
Hakone, Odawara

In Hakone, the Hakone volcano has produced caldera and onsen (hot springs) over many long years. It is an area
overflowing with mystery and history, where countless legends and the vestiges of many great people still live on.

<Nara Period to the Warring States Period>

Hot springs were opened in the Nara period(around 700AD). The hot springs were related
to the Late Hojo Clan of the Warring States
period.
According to one theory, the hot springs of Hakone were first opened in
the Nara period (around 700AD). According to folklore of the time, “When’Kiyosada’, a priest of Kaga and disciple of Taicho, came to Hakone-Yumoto
to pray and study, the hot springs began to flow, and the small pox which
had been afflicting the people was cured”. During the Warring States period(from around 1495 AD onwards), the Late Hojo Clan ruled as daimyos over
the whole Kanto region for five generations from their base in Odawara
Castle. Odawara prospered as a center of politics, economy and industry.
Soun Hojo, the founder of the clan, was enshrined in ‘Soun-ji’ in HakoneYumoto, so military commanders would often visit Hakone to pay homage.
The source of the springs near Soun-ji that the military commanders bathedin still remains, and the hot water there still continues to flow.

A statue of Soun Hojoat the west entrance ofOdawara Station.

Odawara Castle was the ruling castle for fivegenerations of the Late Hojo Clan from around 1496
onwards. It is now a castle ruins park, where beautiful
views can be seen from the castle towers.

<Warring States Period to Edo Period>

A place of healing for troops during Hideyoshi
Toyotomi’s attack on Odawara (1590). Its namecome to back be known nationwide.

The ‘Taiko Stone Bathtub’ in the Miyanoshita hot spring. This is the remains of the openair bathtub created by Hideyoshi to heal his troops, and is no longer used for bathing.

The ‘Battle of Odawara’ (1590) was daimyo Hideyoshi Toyotomi’s final battle in
his unification of the country. Hideyoshi spent two months fortifying Ishigakiyama
in order to capture Odawara Castle. It is said that during the protracted war,
Hideyoshi built a stone bathtub that utilized the hot springs of Jakotsu river in
Miyanoshita, and used it to heal his soldier’s wounds, as well as bathing in it
himself.
In addition, at the height of the war, Hideyoshi held a tea ceremony and SEN
no Rikyu, Ieyasu Tokugawa, Masamune Date, and Yodogimi all visited, allowing
the area to prosper. It is said that Hime-no-mizu, a famous mineral water from
Ohiradai, was used by Hideyoshi Toyotomi for the tea ceremony, and that thedaughters of the Late Hojo Clan and the Toyotomi Clan used it as a face lotion.
From then on, many women visited Hakone in order to follow their example.

<Edo Period to Meiji and Taisho Periods>

Transportation networks arranged by Ieyasu Tokugawa
and Yukichi Fukuzawa, and the development of popular
tourist attractions.
In 1603, Ieyasu Tokugawa, who set up the Edo shogunate, began work on the Tokaido highway.
A hot spring health resort was born in Hakone, and it became famous for the ‘7 Hakone Hot
Springs’. However, the inaccessibility of the hilly roads became known as the most perilous partof the Tokaido, and then in 1626 the shogunate established the ‘Hakone Checkpoint’ in order tosecure defence of Edo.
From the Meiji period onwards, the ‘Hakone Checkpoint’ was abolished, and developmentof the area progressed as a location for recuperation and sight-seeing. Yukichi Fukuzawa
enjoyed visiting the hot springs of Hakone, and after talking to local sympathizers, he assistedwith the development of National Route 1 linking Odawara and Hakone. In 1877, Fujiya Hotelwas opened as a hotel aimed at overseas visitors. Railroads were also established thanks to
Odakyu Electric Railway, and the area developed as a popular, accessible tourist location.

18※歴史や伝承の解釈には諸説あります。There are various theories regarding the history and the traditions.

The main role of the Hakone Checkpoint was checking for “letting inguns and letting out women”. They particularly kept out a watchful eye
for carried weapons, and wives of daimyos fleeing from Edo where they
had been forced to live and held hostage.
