What other travelers are saying about Hakone Shrine
This is a beautiful shrine that, unfortunately, has been overrun by tourists, mostly the shrine on the water. The temple up the steps is gorgeous and the walk down the road is so scenic. I highly recommend visiting during off peak hours.
Probably the easiest way to get a photo with the shrine is from the water! Pirate ship ahoy mate! Don’t forget to strategically place yourself on the starboard side 😉
The lines were typically quite long and it deterred us from waiting. However, a little forethought led us to try something different. Enjoy the ride
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
Marvelous tori in front of the lake. The Tori symbolizes the end of the normal world for the beginning of the sacred one.
Maps is pointing the wrong position though.
Anyway there is a line to do photos so be wise to go in order to don't wait too much/lose light for the photos.
The attraction is free.
