Hakone Sekisho checkpoint After enjoying refreshing morning air and the beautiful view of Mt. Fuji, we made our way toward Moto Hakone. After parking the car at the large public parking lot near Lake Ashinoko's ferry port, we walked up to Hakone Sekisho checkpoint, on the lake's bank. The Hakone Sekisho is an elaborate collection of restored wooden gates and buildings built by the Edo Shogunate Government over 400 years ago. Near the buildings, there are samurai warrior wax figures to demonstrate the inspections travelers were subjected to during the time.
