Beautiful temple with different types of sculptures scattered throughout the forest. Best time to enjoy during autumn. Other time forest is full of lush green leaves.

Beautiful Buddhist temple hidden amongst the suburb. My brother and I went around 5pm, and we were the only ones there. It's small, quiet, and so peaceful. Definitely come in and have a moment of peace to yourself here ♡

If you're nearby, definitely come visit! Beautiful temple, with an Inari shrine, cemetery, and forest full of statues. Very peaceful and beautiful, lots of nice greenery and some flowers during the spring time!

A historical Buddhist Temple. Worth visiting during your Hakone trip. It's very close to Ashi Lake. Besides, it's on the way back to Tokyo. Five hundred of Buddha’s disples gathered here after his death. Their pictures were all around the temple.

If you are trying to visit Hakone you shouldn't miss this place. Very peaceful environment. You can enjoy Autumn leaves in November or snow in winter.We visited in November so we could see Autumn leaves🍁. Some bamboo trees are there. Statues are great. They are built from stones. If you are hungry you can enjoy noodles near this temple as soba noodles restaurant is at the entrance of the temple. From this temple pompass field is also near.
