Visit for the quiet wooded setting and the lake guardian tradition at its original shrine. This is a separate destination from the newer Kuzuryu annex beside Hakone Shrine. Plan the approach and forest entry before leaving the main lake ports; it is not a quick detour.
What to look for
Vermilion sanctuary in the woods
Lakeside approach
Useful to know
Plan the walk or boat access in advance; normal forest admission applies.
