basic information

Hakone Shrine stands at the foot of Mount Hakone along the shores of Lake Ashi. The shrine buildings are hidden in the dense forest, but are well advertised by torii gates standing prominently in the lake and the main street of Moto-Hakone.

The Hakone Shrine Motomiya ("original Hakone Shrine") is located at the summit of Mount Komagatake, one of Mount Hakone's multiple peaks, and is accessible by the Komagatake Ropeway from Hakone-en (not covered by the Hakone Free Pass).
