Hakone Shrine
Hakone Shrine was founded in 757 by Priest Manyo and has been revered by many people since the Nara period. It gained particular devotion from warriors such as Minamoto no Yoritomo and Tokugawa Ieyasu, becoming known as the guardian shrine of the Kanto region. Hakone Shrine is famous for its divine virtues related to good fortune and protection from calamity, fulfillment of wishes, and traffic safety, attracting many worshippers. In front of the shrine, there are rows of ancient cedar trees and the Peace Torii gate, and the reflected scenery on Lake Ashi is breathtakingly beautiful. The subsidiary shrine, Kuzuryu Shrine, is also renowned as a deity of matchmaking, with many visitors coming for the monthly ritual held on the 13th. It is accessible within about two hours from the city center and is popular as a tourist destination where visitors can experience natural beauty and a sense of historical significance.
