Chisuji Falls

A thousand thin strands of water, running down a moss-covered, irregularly shaped wall of volcanic rock 20 meters wide and 3 meters tall. A masterpiece of nature, Chisuji Falls was long known only to a handful of local residents, but that changed in the early nineteenth century. The founder of Mikawaya Ryokan, now one of the oldest continually operating hot spring inns in Hakone, was convinced that the beautiful waterfall near his establishment deserved more attention—attention that would inevitably also be directed toward Mikawaya. The innkeeper established a hiking path to the falls, even building a teahouse in the vicinity to attract additional customers. His efforts paid off: Chisuji became a popular attraction in the Taisho era (1912–1926), when seeing the falls was high on many a Hakone visitor’s to-do list. While the scenery has changed somewhat since those days, with earthquakes in particular taking their toll on the relatively fragile rock, Chisuji Falls still makes for a sight worth the 20-minute stroll from Kowakidani Station. The scene is especially striking in autumn, when the seasonal foliage adds a touch of color to the scene.

千條之瀑

縷縷細流，順著一塊形狀不規則的火山岩表面流瀉而下。岩石寬20公尺，高3公尺，表面布滿青苔。千條之瀑，由大自然的巧奪天工所打造，從古至今便是當地居民心目中的隱秘勝地，鮮為外人所知，直到19世紀前半葉才聲名大噪。三河屋旅館（箱根現存歷史最久遠的溫泉旅館之一）的創始人獨具慧眼，認為旅館附近的這條美麗的瀑布值得更多人矚目，而三河屋也能借此提高自己的人氣。於是旅館主人鋪設了通往瀑布的散步道，並在周邊設置了茶屋，以吸引觀光客。進入大正時代（1912-1926），千條之瀑一躍成為遠近馳名的觀光勝地，不負其鍥而不捨的努力。造訪箱根的旅客，一定得欣賞過瀑布，才稱得上不虛此行。滄海桑田，物換星移，頻發的地震在較為脆弱的岩石上，留下難以湮滅的痕跡，其風景或許已與當年略有不同，但慕名前來的人們仍然不惜從小湧谷站步行20分鐘，一窺千條之瀑的風采。而每逢丹楓迎秋之際，紅葉交織著飛瀑，交相輝映，更是美不勝收。

千丝万缕的细流，沿着一块形状不规则的火山岩表面流淌而下。岩石宽20米，高3米，表面覆满青苔。千条之瀑，由大自然的鬼斧神工所造就，自古以来便是当地居民心目中的隐秘胜地，鲜为外人所知，直至19世纪前半叶才一举成名。三河屋旅馆（箱根现存历史最久远的温泉旅馆之一）的创始人慧眼识珠，认定旅馆附近的这条美丽的瀑布值得更多人的瞩目，而三河屋也能借此提升自身的人气。于是旅馆主人铺设了通往瀑布的散步道，并在周遭设置了茶屋，以吸引观光客。功夫不负有心人，到了大正时代（1912-1926），千条之瀑一跃成为闻名遐迩的观光名胜。造访箱根的旅客，定要欣赏过瀑布，才算不虚此行。时过境迁，频发的地震在较为脆弱的岩石上，留下不可磨灭的痕迹，其景致或许已与当年略有不同，但慕名而来的人们依然不惜从小涌谷站步行20分钟，一睹千条之瀑的风姿。而每逢丹枫迎秋之际，红叶交织着飞瀑，相映成辉，更是美不胜收。
