Hakone Hachiri is the name given to the stretch of old Tokaido between Odawara and Mishima, via Hakone. Much of the old Tokaido route has been replaced by modern roading. But the Hakone Hachiri stretch has a reasonable proportion still intact, and so has just been declared a Japan Heritage Area.

Autumn is a great time to visit Japan. Everywhere you look, there are vivid green, red, orange and yellow colours, and the Hakone area is a great choice for enjoying the fall foliage.

If you are tired of museums and other visitor attractions in Hakone and fancy a day in the outdoors, a walk along the old Tokaido highway won’t disappoint.
