Hakone Travel―Taking Old Tokaido Road to Hakone-jinja Shrine (YouTube link)
Hakone-Jinja Shrine (箱根神社⭐⭐) stands at the foot of Mount Hakone along the shores of Lake Ashi. The shrine buildings are hidden in the dense forest, but are well advertised by its huge torii gates, one standing prominently in the lake and two others over the main street of Moto-Hakone.
From Moto-Hakone Port, you walk along lake shore to the tori gate in 10 minutes. Then a path leads from the torii gate in Lake Ashi up a series of steps flanked by lanterns through the forest to the main building of the shrine, which sits peacefully among the tall trees. The shrine is beautiful throughout the year, and is particularly breathtaking when shrouded in mist.
