Best around Hakone / Odawara Spot List

[Takes around two hours 15 minutes at a regular pace - suitable for regular walkers] Known as the ”stone Buddha walking course” as stone Buddhas have been placed along the route to show you the way. Start from Jukkokutoge-sancho Station, which overlooks all ten of surrounding ancient kingdoms of Japan, namely Izu, Suruga, To'otoumi, Kai, Shinano, Musashi, Sagami, Awa, Kazusa, and Shimofusa. The station also affords a great view of Mr. Fuji.

From the Fudo Waterfall, if you continue walking along the stream toward Okuyugawara, you will come across the Godan Waterfall. Godan means ”five steps” in Japanese and the 100-meter-tall waterfall appears to flow down five steps. Steam from hot spring water gathers around the falls, creating a real hot spring atmosphere. Access: From Yugawara Station, take the bus headed to Okuyugawara or Fudo-Taki for about 20 minutes The falls are a two-minute walk from the Fudo-Taki bus stop

Originally, the ceramic statue of the Buddha was placed in Nagoya Castle, and after the war, it was dedicated to Fukusenji Temple. Mitsutomo Tokugawa, a former lord of Nagoya Castle, is said to have created the statue in honor of his deceased mother. It is thought that a complete statue was created in Nagoya, including the parts from the neck down, so now where has the body gone? Access: From Yugawara Station, take the bus headed to Okuyugawara or Fudo-Taki for about 5 minutes The statue is a five-minute walk from the Izumi Iriguchi bus stop
