Miyanoshita (宮ノ下)

Flow of the course

About this spot

A historic hot spring town counted among the Hakone Seven Springs, where the autumn leaves are typically at their best from mid to late November. In the mid-mountain area stretching from Gora to Miyanoshita, the colors move down the mountainside from early to late November. Along Sepia Street, which runs beside National Route 1, retro buildings such as long-established hotels, photo studios, and antique shops line the road, and autumn leaves coloring the mountainside come into view with every step up the slope. It is an area families enjoy exploring together while looking for photo spots, whether on a bridge or partway up a slope.

Tips

Strolling around is free. Since there are many slopes and stone steps, a baby carrier is easier to manage than a stroller. This area is prone to traffic congestion, so using public transportation is recommended.

Best time to visit

Afternoon, when the low angled light makes the autumn colors on the mountainside look three-dimensional
