History
According to shrine tradition, Hakone-jinja was founded in 757[2] during the reign of Emperor Kōshō.[3] The original shrine was at the summit of the Komagatake peak of Mount Hakone.[4]
The shrine was relocated to the shores of Lake Ashi; its current form dates to 1667.[5] Credit for establishment is also given to Priest Mangan, for pacifying the nine-headed dragon that lived at the bottom of Lake Ashi. According to the Azuma Kagami, Minamoto no Yoritomo sought guidance and shelter from the kami at Hakone after his defeat in Battle of Ishibashiyama during the Genpei War.Script error: No such module "Unsubst". Upon becoming shōgun, Yoritomo became a patron of the shrine.
In the Kamakura period, the shrine was popular with samurai.[1] This support continued through the Sengoku period.
The shrine was burned down by the forces of Toyotomi Hideyoshi during the Battle of Odawara. It was reconstructed by Tokugawa Ieyasu and given a grant of 200 koku of revenue. The Tokugawa shogunate continued to support the shrine.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
