Hakone is the location of the Hakone Gongen, a noted Shinto shrine which is mentioned in Heian period literature. During the Genpei War, after his defeat at the Battle of Ishibashiyama in neighboring Manuzuru, Minamoto no Yoritomo prayed at this shrine for victory over his enemies.As with the rest of Sagami Province, the area came under the control of the later HÅjÅ clan of Odawara during the Sengoku period. After the start of the Edo period, Hakone-juku was a post station on the TÅkaidÅ highway connecting Edo with Kyoto. It was also the site of a major barrier and official checkpoint on the route known as the {{nihongo|Hakone Checkpoint|ç®±æ ¹é¢æ|(:ja:ç®±æ ¹é¢|Hakone sekisho)}}, which formed the border of the KantÅ region. Under the Tokugawa shogunate, all travellers entering and leaving Edo along the TÅkaidÅ were stopped here by officials and their travel permits and baggage were examined to enforce Tokugawa laws that restricted the travel of women and weapons.After the start of the Meiji Restoration, Hakone became a part of the short-lived Ashigara Prefecture before becoming part of Ashigarashimo District in Kanagawa prefecture in August 1876. Hakone attained town status in 1889. The imperial household established the summer Hakone Imperial Villa close to the lake. During the Meiji period, the area developed into a summer resort for the wealthy of Tokyo and the foreign settlement in Yokohama.After a merger with five neighboring towns and villages in September 1956, it reached its present boundaries.Government
Hakone has a mayor-council form of government with a directly elected mayor and a unicameral town council of 14 members. Hakone, together with neighboring Manazuru and Yugawara, contributes one member to the Kanagawa Prefectural Assembly.
