Hitoana Fuji-ko Iseki

The limestone cave extends 83 meters into Mount Fuji, containing a central lava pillar with a diameter of 5 meters at its bend point.

In the 16th century, religious leader Kakugyo performed ascetic practices in this cave, establishing it as a fundamental site for the Fuji-ko movement.

The grounds contain 233 memorial stones erected by Fuji-ko followers, primarily constructed between the late 18th and early 19th centuries.

The site information center operates on weekends and holidays from 10:00 to 15:00, with certified Mount Fuji World Heritage guides available.

The cave interior features three memorial towers, four stone Buddha statues, and a shrine, though entry is currently restricted for safety reasons.
