Visiting the Dragon God in Hakone - Kuzuryu Shrine

The Vermilion Temple by the Lakeside

The main shrine of Kuzuryu Shrine stands in the forest overlooking Lake Ashi. The vermilion temple shines against the blue sky, exuding a solemn atmosphere. As you proceed along the approach, the sacred area emerges through the trees, inviting you into a mysterious world.

Viewing the Power Spot on the Lake from a Boat

Taking a motorboat from Hakone-en to the shrine is recommended for access. While feeling the refreshing breeze, you can overlook the Kuzuryu Shrine from the lake and feel the power of the dragon god. It is a magnificent view.

Visiting the Dragon God deeply related to the Chinese zodiac

Kuzuryu Shrine is deeply related to the dragon of the Chinese zodiac. Particularly in the year of the dragon, many worshippers visit to pray for the protection of the dragon god. The precincts are enveloped in a quiet and serene atmosphere.

Experiencing the Blessings of the Heart

The blessings of Kuzuryu Shrine cover a wide range, from recovery from illness to prosperity in business. Many people have actually experienced miraculous blessings and can touch the deep compassion of the dragon god.

The White Dragon Shrine is also an irresistible charm

Near the main shrine, there is the White Dragon Shrine, which is also an unmissable place. It shows a different atmosphere from the main shrine. It is recommended to visit both shrines together.

Short scenic walk from Togendai and you can avoid crowds going to the more popular Tori gate via the ferries.

An easy walking path (about 1 hr round trip) with nice view

It's kind of a long walk from Togendai for a small park with shrine and the admission costs money. People were using leaf blowers right at the shrine when I went so it was not very peaceful. Very pretty but wouldn't go out of my way for this otherwise. The hike up is somewhat scenic though if you have the time.

Cute, right by the lake shore. Even got to see some deer in the woods close by. Get ready for a walk to visit. It's about a half hour walk and it can be hilly.

The shrine is small itself however the tori gate in the water was pretty cool. This area has lots of walking paths and nature. It’s 600yen per person to enter.
