Kuzuryu Shrine Hongu proudly stands on the shore of Ashinoko Lake. It is said that the protector of Ashinoko Lake, the great Kuzuryu deity, is enshrined there. The shrine's legend is about a monk, Mangan Shonin, who was bestowed with a special power from the deity of Hakone Shrine to try and vanquish an evil dragon that lived in Ashinoko Lake and often tormented people. He succeeded and thus became the great deity of Kuzuryu Shrine. As there are no bus stops in the vicinity of the shrine, it will take about 30 minutes by foot from Togendai bus stop, so you can think of it as a nice hiking route and head out on a sunny day. Please note that the visitors need to pay an admission fee to enter Hakone Kuzuryu no Mori.
