Hakone Maruyama Bussan, located in front of what was once the Hakone barrier on the Tokaido, the highway connecting Kanto and Kansai, specializes in production and sale of Yosegi Marquetry. At the workshop, after watching the craftsmen at work, visitors are invited to try an only-in-Hakone experience, making their own “secret boxes” with hidden compartments. Making your own box with its own unique tricks is one of the highlights of a visit to Hakone. Here, too, you can purchase the many famous marquetry items produced by the experienced craftsmen who have dedicated their lives to their craft.
