At a Glance
Onshi Hakone Park is a prefectural park in Motohakone, Hakone, Kanagawa, on the Tōgashima peninsula that juts out into Lake Ashi. It covers about 15.9 hectares on the site of the former Hakone Detached Palace, and it is listed as a Registered Monument of Japan.
The detached palace was completed in 1886 as a summer retreat for the Emperor and Empress, but it collapsed in the earthquakes of 1923 and 1930. The grounds were given to Kanagawa Prefecture in 1946 and opened to the public that May. An observation building modeled on the old palace looks out to the outer ring of mountains around Hakone and to Mount Fuji. The paths pass azaleas in May and mountain lilies from summer into autumn. The Hakone Checkpoint site and the old Tōkaidō cedar avenue lie nearby.
