Oyama, Administrative town in Sunto District, Japan
Oyama is a town in Sunto District nestled between the Tanzawa Mountains and Mount Fuji foothills, home to several thousand residents. The landscape is defined by mountainous terrain and dense forests that shape the character of the settlement.
The area began as a post town during the Heian period and remained under the direct control of the Tokugawa shogunate throughout the Edo period. This long connection to central authority shaped how the settlement developed and was organized.
The Higashiguchi Hongu Fuji Sengen Shrine anchors community life and ties residents to Mount Fuji through regular worship and local celebrations. This sacred site shapes how people see their town as a place of reverence and tradition.
Visitors can access Suruga-Oyama Station, which runs regular train services connecting to larger networks beyond the town. The proximity to the expressway also makes driving a viable way to arrive.
The town sits at an average elevation of 800 meters, which creates a noticeably cooler climate than lower regions. This height allows forests to flourish and cover about two-thirds of the territory, keeping the air fresh.
