Yamamiya Sengen Shrine, Asama shrine in Fujinomiya, Japan
The shrine features a distinct altar setup instead of a traditional honden structure, positioned to offer direct views toward Mount Fuji.
Archaeological evidence indicates the shrine existed between the 12th and 15th centuries, potentially predating the establishment of Fujisan Hongu Sengen Taisha.
The shrine holds regular ceremonies dedicated to Konohanasakuya-hime, the deity associated with volcanoes and Mount Fuji's protection.
Located at coordinates 35.271244, 138.637056, the shrine occupies 0.5 hectares of land and maintains regular visiting hours for religious services.
The Yamamiya Goshinko ritual, performed until 1874, involved priests carrying a ceremonial spear between this shrine and Fujisan Hongu Sengen Taisha.
