Araki Cyo
Yotsuya Arakicho
In the Meiji era (1868-1912), there was a place called Hakone in Edo (Tokyo).
Surrounded by lush greenery and a pond with a clear waterfall, the scenic garden has become one of the most famous landmarks in the new capital of Tokyo.
Ikemi teahouses were built around the pond, and the bustle of people viewing the cherry blossoms and seeking coolness led to the development of the Hanamachi.
To get to Edo no Hakone, take the Tokyo Metro Marunouchi Line and get off at Yotsuya-sanchome, with the Odakyu Romance Car at Shinjuku Station on the side.
Please come to Shinjuku Street, around Mizuho Bank.
As you begin to step down the gentle slope, you will begin your journey tonight. Welcome to Arakicho.
