Hakone🇯🇵Mugen Kaijo Shrine-Torii Gate of Peace⛩️

The Torii Gate was built in 1952 to commemorate the peace treaty. It is located on Lake Ashi and looks like a beautiful scenery standing in the water. Many tourists come here to check in and take photos. It has become a must-visit internet celebrity check-in spot in the suburbs of Tokyo in recent years. 📸Photography Tips If you don’t have much time and just want to take pictures of the Torii instead of visiting the shrine, you can go in from the red arrow in (Figure 2), which will lead you to the road in (Figure 3). You will soon reach the end of the line for taking pictures (Figure 4). Because I wanted to take pictures close to the water, I waited in line for about 45 minutes. If you want a larger portrait composition, you basically don’t have to queue up and can get a close effect by shooting from the side, saving you queueing time! But I have to say, this location plus the beauty of the lake make for beautiful photos! The rest of the shrine has equipment common to other shrines and is relatively small in size. A small number of amulets and fine items are also sold. If you don’t have time and don’t want to take a photo, you can just skip this attraction. 📍Hakone Shrine "Peaceful Uju" 8 0 -1 Motohakone, Hakone, Ashigarashimo District, Kanagawa 250-0522 Japan
