田子山富士塚

The Tagoyama Fujizuka is an artificial hill measuring 8.7 meters in height and 30 meters in diameter, covered with black volcanic rocks from Mount Fuji.

In 1872, soy sauce brewer Shokichi Takasu and local members of the Marukyoku Fuji religious group constructed this miniature Mount Fuji over a period of two years.

The mound features multiple stone monuments representing sacred locations from Mount Fuji, including a cave system called Otainai and several shrines along the climbing path.

Visitors can access the site by taking a 25-minute walk from Shiki Station on the Tobu Tojo Line or a 4-minute bus ride followed by a 5-minute walk.

The summit contains an inner shrine dedicated to Princess Konohanasakuya, with stone carvings considered superior in quantity and quality compared to other Fujizuka mounds.
