Otama's pond is...
In 1702, a teenage girl named Otama tried to escape from places that were her forced to work in Edo (now Tokyo) to her parents' home in Izu, but she didn't have a ticket for the checkpoint. She was therefore unable to pass through Hakone. She then she tried to break the barrier through the fence in the surrounding mountains without passing through the barrier, but she was captured by the guard of the barrier and decapitated and executed two months later. Later, there was a legend that she washed her neck at "Nazunagai Pond (former name of otama's pond)". For that reason, it came to be called "Otama's pond".
お玉ヶ池は。。。
江戸時代の1702年(元禄15年)、お玉という10代の少女が江戸の奉公先の家から伊豆の実家に逃げ帰ろうとしたが、関所手形を持っていなかったため箱根関を通ることができなかった。そこで、関を通らずに周囲の山にあった柵を通って関所破りをしようとしたが、関所の番人に捕まり2か月後に処刑された。その後、「那津奈可池」(なずながいけ、お玉ヶ池の旧名)でお玉の首を洗ったという伝説ができたことから「お玉ヶ池」と呼ばれるようになった。
