Sengokuhara

Sengokuhara is a town district in the northern section of the Hakone caldera within Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park. The area spans different elevations with lakes, forests, and mineral springs scattered throughout.

The village of Sengokuhara was established in 1889 and merged with Yumoto town and two other villages in 1956. This consolidation shaped the present-day structure of the Hakone region.

Several art museums define this area, including the Pola Museum of Art and the Venetian Glass Museum. They reflect how the region has become a gathering place for people interested in art and design.

You can reach this area via National Routes 1 and 138 from Odawara, or by regular bus services to Hakone Yumoto Station. The region is well-connected and public transit links the various museums and attractions.

The pampas grass fields change appearance with the seasons, creating shifting landscapes. Local mineral springs produce milky-colored water known for its therapeutic properties.
