Hiyoshi Sengen Shrine

Hiyoshi Sengen Shrine, shrine in Fuji, Shizuoka

Hiyoshi Sengen Shrine is an Asama shrine in Imaizumi, Fuji, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan. Its 2,287-tsubo grounds hold a honden, haiden and shinmon. It is the Hiyoshi-gu of the Fuji-shimo Gosha, the five lower Asama shrines, and enshrines Konohanasakuyahime with Oyamakui.

Tradition dates the shrine's founding to the 5th year of Emperor Sujin (93 BCE), though no record names its founder. A rival tradition credits the immigrant monk Myōgyō, a follower of Raizon, with building it around 1317–1318, which would place it under the shugenja of Tōsen-in on Mount Fuji. In 1547 Imagawa Yoshimoto's letter counted it among the five Sengen shrines below Fuji. It stood by today's Yoshiwara Park until 1875, and was moved to its present site in 1967.

The shrine is dedicated to the mountain goddess Konohanasakuyahime, an important figure in local stories and beliefs. Visitors can see this connection in the offerings left at the altar and in the festivals held throughout the year.

The shrine sits in a quiet, wooded setting that encourages slow walking and reflection. Entry is via simple pathways between trees and lanterns, which makes navigation straightforward.

The shrine is one of the five Sengen shrines of the Fuji lower region, known collectively as the Gosha Sengen, and corresponds to the 'Hiyoshi-gu' within that group. A 1547 letter from Imagawa Yoshimoto to a monk named Goshabetsu Tomi Dainagon Yukiyama lists this shrine as one of the five.
