Fujisan Hongū Sengen Taisha

The Fujisan Hongu Sengen Taisha features a two-story construction with a Sengen architectural style and encompasses the entire upper section of Mount Fuji from the eighth stage.

The shrine was established in 806 CE during a period of volcanic activity on Mount Fuji to appease the mountain spirits and prevent further eruptions.

The shrine maintains its position as the head shrine among 1,300 Sengen and Asama shrines nationwide, dedicated to the worship of Konohanasakuya-hime, the deity of Mount Fuji.

Visitors can reach the shrine by taking a 15-minute walk from Fujinomiya Station or using the regular bus service that operates between the station and shrine grounds.

The shrine grounds contain Wakutama Springs, a National Natural Monument that serves as an essential water source for the surrounding region.
