*''Japanese'': 箱根 ''(Hakone)''
Hakone is a mountain town in [[Kanagawa prefecture]], famous for its [[onsen]] (hot springs), and for its [[Edo period]] ''[[sekisho]]'' (highway checkpoint). The checkpoint at Hakone, established in [[1619]], was one of the largest in the realm, and was considered a vital element of the security of the western entrance to the [[Kanto|Kantô]] region.
One of the larger [[shukuba|post-stations]] along the [[Tokaido|Tôkaidô]], Hakone was home to six ''[[honjin]]''.<ref>Miyamoto Tsuneichi 宮本常一, ''Nihon no shuku'' 日本の宿, Tokyo: Shakai shisôsha (1965), 167.</ref>
