Lakeside Panorama Hall

Lakeside Panorama Hall at Onshi-Hakone Park, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, stands as a modern tribute to the grandeur of the Hakone Imperial Villa, which once graced these grounds. Constructed from white granite and completed in 1992, the hall overlooks the serene Lake Ashinoko and features a café and museum, offering visitors a glimpse into the villa's history as a retreat for royalty and foreign dignitaries. In the foreground, the neatly maintained lawn reveals remnants of the original palace foundation stones, a poignant reminder of the past amidst the picturesque landscape.
