Hakone Motomiya

Hakone Motomiya is a sacred sanctuary enshrined at the summit of Komagatake, serving as the inner shrine of Hakone Jinja. Revered since ancient times as a site of mountain worship, it is said to possess a history even older than Hakone Jinja itself. Ascending the mountain by ropeway reveals a magnificent panorama where one can see Mount Fuji, Lake Ashi, and Sagami Bay. Gazing upon this grand landscape, one feels the majesty of nature and the presence of the divine. This shrine at an altitude of 1,300 meters is truly the sacred domain closest to heaven. Pilgrims who visit are purified in both body and spirit, receiving great spiritual power.
