Hakone Mototsumiya Shrine
About
Perched atop Mount Komagatake, Hakone Mototsumiya is a striking 'shrine in the sky' offering breathtaking, unobstructed views of Mount Fuji and Lake Ashi. This sacred spiritual site, accessible via the Hakone Komagatake Ropeway, features a minimalist red torii gate set against a dramatic, windswept mountain landscape. Visitors can expect a serene, mystical atmosphere far removed from the busier lakeside shrines below, especially when the autumn foliage peaks.
Insider Tip
Bring an extra windbreaker layer; the mountaintop summit is significantly colder, windier, and cloudier than the lake level.
