#KanagawaSightseeing I went to Kuzuryu Shrine in Hakone⛩️ It's a 30-minute walk from Hakone-en, which was a bit tough with kids, but it's in the Kuzuryu Forest, and you can also get there by boat from the water. The torii gates floating on the water are mystical, and it's one of the shrines you'll want to visit at least once. Kuzuryu Shrine is famous for its "marriage benefits." Kuzuryu Shrine is known for its benefits of increasing financial luck, good fortune, business prosperity, and marriage. It is especially popular as the god of marriage, and is a sacred place for people who pray for good relationships. #777 #Hakone-en #Hakone #KuzuryuShrine #Shrine

Kuzuryu Shrine features a torii gate floating on the lakeside, creating a truly mystical atmosphere. The soothing sounds of the lake make it a highly recommended spot. To reach Hakone Motomiya, take the ropeway up. With its high altitude, the area is often shrouded in mist, giving it an otherworldly, heavenly feel. Hakone Shrine is the most famous and popular of the three. Here, you’ll find the Anzan Cedar quietly standing, adding to the serene ambiance.

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. In 2024, I want to visit this place again. #2024wish

The new shrine of Kuzuryu Shrine, which enshrines Kuzuryu-no-Okami, is located within the grounds of Hakone Shrine. He is worshipped as a dragon god who is especially highly regarded for bringing prosperity to business, protecting financial luck, fulfilling wishes, and finding a good partner. The building itself is beautiful, and the space is very soothing. #QuintessaCampaign
