What other travelers are saying about Hakone Shrine
It was really busy. There was a queue to get to this shrine gate and take photo. Great for photo because of the lake. Peaceful environment. The temple is really popular tourist area.
Famous shrine. So many Instagram photos, filled with tourists. It is so beautiful, we visited towards sunset, it was slowly getting dark. Still so peaceful and calm. Lovely indeed
Well worth a visit.
If you want a challenge go up to the top of the mount but there’s nothing to see up there but a lonely shrine surrounded by trees.
Best experience is just going up to the 2 view points on the way, taking in the views and then making your way back down.
Lovely smaller set of shrines, heavy in the dragon theme. There’s a beautiful Tori gate in the lake, and there’s a long line of people wanting to take a picture under it. You can get a similar effect playing with your zoom, and avoid the line. In general it’s a beautiful spot surrounded by more beautiful spots, so it’s a highly recommended stop.
Went during summer. Weather is good. The experience of going there is smooth and serene. The only issue is if you are relying on a public transportation and you are travelling with a senior, time frame of busses coming and going are few.
