The Shinshi Castle Ruins are a small historical site surrounded by the mountains of Hakone. There is an entrance to the castle ruins where Route 75 and the Komagatake Ropeway intersect. This is a quiet place a little away from the bustling streets of Hakone where many tourists visit.
The ruins of the castle are a small fortress with several small turrets remaining. Nevertheless, it exudes an atmosphere that makes one feel the breath of the samurai and the people of the time. Taking a stroll through the historical castle ruins surrounded by greenery will be a healing experience.
The Shinshi Castle Ruins are also a recommended spot for families with children. It has a unique atmosphere that cannot be experienced in large castles. Children should be able to learn about the lifestyle of that time while using their imagination. When visiting Hakone, why not stop by here.
