"Kuzuryu Shrine (Nine-headed Dragon Shrine)" Top 5 Page for this destination Fuji-Hakone-Izu-kokuritsu-koen Things to Do Tip by victorwkf

One of the highlights of my visit to the Hakone region must be the visit to Kuzuryu Shrine (Nine-headed dragon shrine). In a way, I was lucky because part of my trip fell on the 13th of each month when ladies from all over Japan will visit this shrine along Lake Ashi which is famous for finding love for single women. The manager of my pension (Lakeside Inn Charlotte - see accomodation tip) helped to arrange for a few Japanese women staying at my pension to bring me there for a trip. This is something special which not many tourists have a chance to experience and I will share with you my visit to Kuzuryu Shrine at the "Local Customs" section of this VT page. It will be divided into several parts to show you the entire journey. Besides this shrine, the surrounding scenery is very beautiful especially in autumn (see photos).
