Hakone Shrine with its shrine buildings hidden in the dense forest, is well-known for its huge torii gates, one standing prominently in the lake and two others over the main street of Moto-Hakone.

A path leads from the torii gate in Lake Ashi up to the main building of the shrine sits peacefully among the tall trees. The shrine is beautiful throughout the year, and is particularly breath-taking when shrouded in mist.
