land access to Hakone Motomiya

Is it possible to walk from Hakone Shrine to Hakone Shrine Motomiya?

If possible, how long it will take?

Thanks a lot :)

Yes, it is possible, although I don't think there is a direct trail. There is a trail head up to the peak of Komagatake from a place that is located between Hakone-en and Kojiri. This is about 60-90 minutes from the shrine. From there, the ascent to the mountain starts. I estimate this to be an additional 1-2 hours.

not Motomiya
本宮(Honguu)

箱根神社元宮 = Hakone Jinja Motomiya

arigatou, uji-san

i'll just have a full day in Tochigi. The plan is to start from Senkei in the morning, Hakoneyumoto-Hakone Tozan Railway 35 mins-Gora (Gora Park)-cablecar-ropeway 5min-Owakudani (eat black egg)-ropeway 8min-Togendai-Lake Ashi-boat-Hakone Machi-Hakone Checkpoint-Hakone Detached Palace-Moto Hakone-Hakone Shrine-walk to Hakone Shrine Motomiya-walk back to Hakone Shrine-Old Tokaido-Amazake Chaya-Tokaido Museum-Hakone Tozan Bus 25 min-Hakoneyumoto.

Now as u say it'll need additional 1-2 hrs, it seems not doable within time availability (need to go to Yokohama at least around 5 pm).

Do you have any idea how to arrange the route so that we can go to the shrine? Or shall I delete other place?

For the round trip, you will need an additional 4 hours.

You could take the ropeway up Mount Komagatake where Motomiya is located. But note that access to the lower station of the ropeway is not straight forward if you are using the Hakone Free Pass. I think it might not be worth the effort.

Hi Uji-san,

Soory, I was so sleepy that I typed "Tochigi" while what in my mind was actually "Hakone".

So, doing a round trip in Hakone will need 4 hours only?

Yes, I think I'll just leave Hokone Shrine Motomiya. Hakone Shrine will be enogh :)

And at the end of the round trip, will directly go to Yokohama to spend the night there.

No, I am saying that a Hiking trip to Hakone Shrine Motomiya would take an additional 4 hours, not an additional 1-2 hours.
