What other travelers are saying about Hakone Mototsumiya Shrine

Have to take the tram car up. 100% worth it. View from the overlook was bad because of the weather. Cloudy and rainy. But still worth it. Small walk with a decent bit of step to climb to get to the shrine. But Definitely worth it

Old temple,interesting reaching point. Not much you can see in the morning due to fog but it’s changing rapidly,so you might have luck. You can’t go inside

Very close to being 5/5, I think it just needed more things/spaces to enjoy the view, but it is worth going up here, the view is stunning, even more so when you can see Mount Fuji, the wind shaking the vegetation with the blue sky will forever be etched in my memory.

Great location, views like no other! Can see the leak of Mt Fuji in the distance and a great walk around the area and view of the shrine. Cable car was sturdy and quick, nice souvenir shop at the top reasonably priced, recommend for a day trip out and surrounding areas.

An amazing hilltop shrine that offers a one of a kind experience where you climb on a quaint pathway to view it. The whole place was enveloped by clouds on the day we visited so we could not see the views from the top.
