Vue d'ensemble

Hakone Shrine's vermilion torii gate rising from the waters of Lake Ashi, framed by ancient cryptomeria trees with Mount Fuji in the background, is one of Japan's most photographed scenes. The shrine sits at the foot of Mount Hakone along the western shore of the lake. Historically it served as a guardian shrine for travelers on the Tokaido road, Japan's most important highway connecting Edo (Tokyo) with Kyoto. The Kuzuryu (Nine-Headed Dragon) sub-shrine on the lakeshore adds a mystical dragon-worship element.
