Close to Lake Ashinoko is a beautiful alley planted with 400 cypress trees each 400 years old. This place definitively deserves a cache!
The japanese name of this historical alley is Suginamiki (Cryptomeria Avenue) and make the link between Hakone-machi and Moto-Hakone.
This road is part of the old Tokaido Highway connecting Edo to Kyoto, the Shogun's capital and the Emperor's seat respectively, and was the most important road among the main five highways in Japan developed by the Tokugawa Shogun's government about 400 years ago. Hakone-hachiri, the specific name of the steepest part of the whole distance of the Highway between Odawara and Mishima, imposed difficulty in walking, accordingly the government of the day planted the cedar trees to provide the pleasant shade for the travelers in addition they paved the road with even stones.
