Editor's note

This is the second issue of “Hakone Sans-façon”. In this issue, we tried to spread the contents that have been focused on “Hakone”, and tried to spot Hakone and its surrounding areas through “samurai” that cannot be ignored when talking about Japanese history.

We have a very long history and of course we can't talk about everything here.

We would be happy if you could get a little interested in our culture, history, and Hakone by unraveling the history from words familiar to the Western people about samurai. By studying Japanese history again this time, we Japanese have come to know amazing facts, discover unexpected connections with the West, and have an opportunity to get excited.

“Hakone Sans-façon”started with the idea of“We want people even in far away to know our place.”. It ’s full of fresh discoveries and surprises for our editors too every time.

We are very happy that everyone loved this opportunity to learn about foreign cultures of far east. We look forward to meeting you in the next issue.
