Tokugawa shogun placed 53 sekisho (facility for inspection) on major roads across the nation to defend Edo (current Tokyo).
Hakone Sekisho was one of the largest and was thought to be the most important among them.
Hakone Sekisho was placed on the current location in 1619, during an early period of Edo Era.
