Hakone Shrine was founded sometime in the Nara period, and has been in its present location since 757 AD. It was an important place of worship in Japan's medieval period for samurai as well as for commoners traveling along the old Tōkaidō Road during the Edo period.

Japanese Shinto worshippers line up in front of the pagoda’s main altar to call upon the gods to answer their wishes and deposit coins in the coffers as a sign of gratitude.Summer festivals all over Japan celebrate this event by going to the nearest Shinto shrine.In the shrine there are many food stalls for worshippers to buy their favorite fast food ,toys and games for the children as well .Words and pics by Sergio Guyman .

I enjoy gojohime as a non-canon ship but what with utahime being a miko, and gojo being a ‘god among men’, and now with utahime literally making the strongest, even stronger...! Like seriously, is there something there?? 
Some fics pretty much guessed that utahime’s ct would be some sort of amplifier (as an explanation for why she’s only semi-grade 1, she would always have to work with other sorcerers), but it fits her overall personality as well. She was gojo’s support in looking for the traitor (and boy I am always weak for supportive ships), and supports her students really well such that they adore her. It’s pretty lucky for the sorcerer world that both utahime and gojo decided to be teachers, because whoo boy if they had ever decided to team up before now, they could have ruled the world. 
I imagine this may have been the first time that utahime and gojo actually got to (or were allowed to) work together. utahime would be useful on the field with other sorcerers, but I imagine that with gojo’s talent and overabundance of cursed energy, having utahime support him would have been seen as superfluous (and would no doubt have scared the elders). It’s nice that they got to work together now.

This small hide-and-seek shrine in Setagaya in Tokyo is a so-called hokora (祠), a miniature Shinto shrine that is dedicated to minor kami not under the jurisdiction of any large shrine. This one doesn't even have its own name, as far as I can ascertain, though it's beautifully maintained. It's in a tree-lined street that happens to have a very good bakery and ice cream shop.

Back to the little shrine itself. I wonder who lives here. I like to think it's a dōsojin (道祖神 or road ancestor deity), protector of travellers, pilgrims and villages. I could be very wrong, but...that's what I imagine.
