Koizumi Kuon-ji

Koizumi Kuon-ji, Buddhist temple in Fujinomiya, Japan

Koizumi Kuon-ji is a Buddhist temple in Fujinomiya with black gates and a straight path that frames the view toward Mount Fuji. The grounds feature multiple vantage points of the peak created through natural framings by architectural elements and landscape features.

The temple was founded in 1334 by Buddhist monk Nichigo and grew into an important location within the religious network of Fuji. Over centuries it became a keeper of sacred teachings and a center for honoring religious figures.

The temple holds the graves of important Buddhist monks and draws pilgrims who come to pay their respects. These sacred places are central to the spiritual practices that visitors experience during their time here.

The temple is located in Fujinomiya and is reachable by foot or car, with parking available on the grounds. Visitors should wear sturdy shoes as the terrain is uneven and paths lead upward toward the mountain.

The grounds feature several marked spots from which Mount Fuji appears in different color tones depending on the season and time of day. These special views emerge from the combination of architectural framings and the natural shifts in the mountain's appearance.
