Hakone Shrine

Hakone Shrine’s cedar-lined approach and lakeside torii connect a wooded sanctuary with Lake Ashi, offering a religious stop within Hakone’s mountain and waterfront sightseeing area.

Hakone Shrine

Why go

The sanctuary above the shore is as important as the famous waterside gate. Climbing through the trees gives the visit a quieter rhythm and reveals the shrine as an active religious place. The upper precinct and lakefront together reveal how the woodland sanctuary connects with its waterfront setting.

What to look for

  • Cedar-lined steps to the sanctuary
  • Lake Ashi waterfront torii
  • Wooded shrine precinct

Useful to know

  • Include the upper sanctuary and woodland approach as well as the lakeside torii.
  • Leave room in your day for the climb between the lake and the shrine precinct.
