箱根の人気の温泉地【ノスタルジック宮ノ下】チェンバレンの散歩道の廃業したホテルへの夢のゴンドラ、自然あふれる早川渓谷

Hello. This is the “Chia’s Outing” channel where she travels hard without a car. This time, on the first day of my trip to Hakone, Izu, I stayed at Fujiya Hotel and took a walk around the nostalgic Miyanoshita on the night of the first day and the morning of the second day. Hakone Shrine, where Miyanoshita gets its name, and Chamberlain’s Promenade. A dream gondola and a hotel at the bottom of a valley. On the first day of our trip to Izu and Hakone, after seeing Owakudani, we stopped by Hakone Yumoto and spent an elegant time staying at Fujiya Hotel. Last time, the video was only about Fujiya Hotel, so this time I will introduce Miyanoshita, where Fujiya Hotel is located. Miyanoshita is approximately 430m above sea level. Located halfway up Mt. Hakone, it used to be popular as one of the Hakone Seven Hot Springs, but since the end of the Edo period, many foreigners have stayed here, and it has become a hot spring resort with an exotic atmosphere. There are many stylish shops, including Morimeshi, which I introduced last time, along Hydrangea Hill just outside Miyanoshita Station. The road in front of Fujiya Hotel is called Sepia Street. On the left side of Hydrangea Hill, although I did not go this time, there is Chaplin’s promenade, where Chaplin took a walk when he stayed at the Fujiya Hotel, and it leads to Kumano Shrine. I went to Hakone Shrine from the garden of Fujiya Hotel, and the name Miyanoshita comes from the fact that it is a hot spring area below Hakone Shrine and Kumano Shrine. I left the hotel at 11am, but since I had about an hour to spare, I decided to go to the Chamberlain promenade. The Dream Gondola signboard may be of interest to you, but apparently you can access the inn at the bottom of the valley using the closed Yamatoya Hotel’s private ropeway. The ropeway has also been removed, and only the signboard remains. The popular name for the Dogashima Valley Promenade is Chamberlain’s Promenade. The atmosphere has become a bit disturbing. Chamberlain’s Promenade is a path that Basil Hall Chamberlain, a British Japanese researcher who lived in Japan during the Meiji period for 38 years, often walked during his time in Hakone. We will go down a slope called “Deja Vu Slope” because the slope with the same scenery and slope continues over and over again. This is Aizen Myoo, locally known as Aizen-san and affectionately known as “Cupid of matchmaking and love.” Hayakawa River and Musou Bridge came into view. It was a 1.5km long walk that would take about 40 minutes, so I thought it would be a good time to go with an hour left, but it kept going downhill, and once I got down, I couldn’t finish it anymore. Since I didn’t have much of a time, I decided to enjoy the scenery for a bit and then head back the way I came. If you get off from the entrance on the opposite side, there seems to be a suspension bridge and waterfall right next to you, so it might have been better to get off from that way. Either way, there are a lot of ups and downs, so even though it’s only 1.5km, it seems quite difficult to walk all the way. What are you working on? I think what you can see above is XIV Hakone Rikyu, but it seems that XIV will acquire and redevelop the site of the Yamatoya Hotel and another inn called Taiseikan. I don’t know much about the current situation, but apparently Taiseikan used to have its own cable car, so it would be fun if the gondola and cable car were revived when it is redeveloped. As soon as I got off Sepia Street, I was surprised to see such a valley full of nature. Although I could only go for a short time, I was able to enjoy the mysterious atmosphere. If you were prepared for the steep path ahead of time, the Chamberlain Walk looked like it would be a wonderful experience. There is Kumano Shrine at the end of the path around the corner of the white building of Shima Photo Studio, but I didn’t have time so I passed it. When you go up to the top of the former imperial residence, Kikukaso, you will find Watanabe Bakery, which is famous for its stew bread, but unfortunately it was closed. It’s nice to travel in the middle of the week when it’s empty, but there are a lot of shops that are closed. There was a bus stop in front of Fujiya Hotel, and it was said that you could transfer at Hakone Yumoto and go to Odawara, so there were several people waiting for the bus. There were several shops selling traditional Hakone marquetry, and Mae-chan bought a beautiful apple marquetry. We returned to Fujiya Hotel and the hotel car took us to Miyanoshita Station. There is no information about shuttle service on the website, but when I went there, I asked about it and was told that I would be placed with other customers. I don’t know if it’s still possible. Below this is the waiting area. With this, we say goodbye to Fujiya Hotel. Of course, the building of Fujiya Hotel is wonderful, but the staff’s hospitality was warm and you could feel how glad they were to have visited Fujiya Hotel. I was able to spend a good time. There are many things I’ll miss, such as dinner, afternoon tea, and apple pie, but I’m really glad I took the plunge and stayed there. Miyanoshita Station is located on a hill, so if you have luggage and there is no shuttle service, it may be quite difficult. Actually, I think it would be a good idea to take the bus from the bus stop in front of the hotel, as it seems to be faster, but the Hakone Tozan Train has switchbacks to climb the old slope, which is the reason why it takes so long. There is so much to see, including the scenery from the train window, that it would be a shame to miss it. (I’m sorry I couldn’t take pictures of the sights as I wasn’t near the window) It takes 28 minutes to get from Miyanoshita to Hakone Yumoto. Since I bought a ticket from Odawara to Izukyu Shimoda, I will transfer to Hakone Yumoto for Odawara. 11:48 departure. The ride time is 15 minutes. If I was going to Hakone from Osaka, I would have to transfer at Odawara, so at first I wanted to see the sights in Odawara as well, but in the end I decided to come via Tokyo and also go to Shimoda, so Odawara was just a transfer. Ta. I took the Odoriko train, which departed at 1:01 p.m., and ate bread that I bought at Fujiya Hotel. I haven’t been able to take a photo of the inside. I arrived at Izukyu Shimoda at 14:42. This time, I traveled to Hakone, Izu for two nights and three days from Tokyo, but I couldn’t go to Hakone Open Air Museum, and there are many other attractions, so it might have been a good idea to stay in Hakone for both nights. However, it’s not that easy to get to from Osaka, so I was glad that I was able to go to Irozaki, the southern tip of the Izu Peninsula. We arrived at Shimoda, took the Shimoda Ropeway, walked along Perry Street, stayed at Yamatokan, and the next day took a sightseeing boat and a geoguide at Irozaki. Shimoda will be in a separate video. Thank you for your viewing. Please rate highly and subscribe to the channel.

一日目に箱根の富士屋ホテルに泊まったので、宮ノ下の散策をしました。あまりお店に入ったりはできなかったけど、ノスタルジックな雰囲気の素敵なところでした。
宮ノ下は、箱根湯本と強羅の中間にある江戸時代からの歴史を持つ温泉地です。明治時代に日本有数のリゾートとして発展しました。古くから外国人客が多く、大正レトロの建物や宿が多いのも当時からの名残です。
チェンバレンの散歩道は、堂ヶ島遊歩道の通称で、明治時代に日本に30年住んだイギリスの日本研究家のバジル・チェンバレンがよく歩いたことから名づけられました。
二日目の朝に一時間ほど時間があったので、行ってみたのですが、セピア通りを少し下ったとたんに自然あふれる渓谷になったのにはビックリしました。
小田原から下田までの電車の時間があったので、突き進んで時間に間に合わなくなっても困るので、さわりだけしか行けなかったんですが、吊り橋や滝などもあり、本当に行けなくて残念でした。
夢のゴンドラという大きな看板が国道沿いに見えて、宮ノ下駅に送ってくれたホテルの方に聞いてみたんですが、あまり知らないようで、今回調べてみたら、閉館してしまった晴遊閣大和屋というホテル専用のロープウェイだと知って驚きました。もう一つの対星館というホテルには専用ケーブルカーがあったということで、すごく面白い温泉地だったようです。
２０１３年に閉館した当時はリニューアルする予定だったそうですが、今はエクシブに買収されて、もうなくなってしまっています。
こういう経緯をしってから、散策路を歩くとなお面白いと思いますので、宮ノ下に行かれたら挑戦されてみても非常に面白いと思います。

今回の旅全体は以下の感じで、この後も続きますので、よろしくお願いします。
　東京のバスタ新宿から小田急ハイウェイバスで箱根に行きました。大阪からだと箱根に行くのは大変なので、東京のめぇちゃんのお家に泊めてもらって、東京ミュージアム・ぐるっとパスで美術館を巡りまくった後、めぇちゃんと二人で新宿から箱根に出発しました。（今回は、「あ」とめぇちゃんの二人です）
１日目は、大涌谷をバックにキラキラ輝くベネチアングラスが美しい箱根ガラスの森美術館、穴場の自然あふれる箱根町立箱根湿性花園、雄大な箱根の定番の名所の大涌谷に行きました。
２日目は、今回ぜいたくして泊まった富士屋ホテルを楽しんだ後、下田に移動して、下田ロープウェイやペリーロードを楽しみ、大和館で温泉を楽しみました。
３日目は、石廊崎で船にのって、ジオパークの絶景を楽しみ、伊東に寄り道して、東海館に行きました。

２０２３年５月１６日～１８日に行きましたが、とても気候がいい時期で天気にも恵まれて、伊豆箱根の絶景を存分に楽しむことができました。
