History
What I visited is Hakone Mototsumiya, enshrined on the shores of Lake Ashi in Hakone. This shrine has long been revered as the inner shrine of Hakone Okami. Its appearance on the lakeshore is mystical and attracts the hearts of visitors. It is said to bring various blessings, including good luck, matchmaking, and traffic safety, and many people visiting Hakone come to worship. The view from the lake is particularly special and makes one feel as if their soul is being cleansed.
