According to history, Hakone shrines were built in the 8th century to venerate three gods: two male gods and one goddess. Following construction of the Hakone shrine, Hakone- kaido road and a barrier were constructed in medieval times. The shrine is famous for bringing good luck for travellers who passed there.
