A striking red gate along the water designates the entrance to this ancient shrine, perched atop Mt. Komagatake, and reachable by cable car or foot.

this serene lakeside shrine has everything - towering cedars, a beautiful torii gate on the shore of lake ashi, and a main shrine complex up a steep flight of stairs to make your pilgrimage worthwhile! there's usually a line to have a picture under the lakeside gate, but waiting is worthwhile and pleasant in the shade. don't be shy about exploring along the lakeshore after you get your photo. remember that this is a place of worship, so act accordingly while you're here.

This shrine seems to be often mistaken by TA reviewers as Hakone Shrine (Hakone Jynjya Heiwa-no-torii) which is the big shrine near MotorHakone. Kuzuryu shrine is the smaller water shrine further along the lake. After a lovely walk along a path you arrive at the entrance gate and pay a small fee to gain access to the grounds. The grounds are beautiful and well maintained despite Typhoon Hagabis (there were still clean up efforts in place) you can walk along the lakes “beaches” until you arrive at the small shrine over the water, which can be tricky to look at (and photograph) given its size and being surrounded by trees. As it’s quite away from the main tourist stomping grounds, it was quite peaceful due to lack of crowds which made it even more enjoyable. Well worth the detour
