Fujisan Hongu Sengen-taisha ShrineB-6
It is the head shrine of all Sengen-jinja shrines that worship Mt. Fuji in Japan. Its origin of the shrine is that Asama no ookami (Konohanano sakuyahimeno mikoto) was enshrined in order to bring volcanic eruptions under control.
Mt. Fuji has been the sacred mountain for Japanese with awe, respect, and gratitude as the malignant god of fire and the motherly god of water since the ancient times.
Lakes at the foot, well water, lava caves, and climbing path... all of these are the holy spots of Mt. Fuji.
A universe of faith in Mt. Fuji that is magnificent and profound from the top to the extensive skirt has been established while changing the methods of prayer in history. And with Mt. Fuji registered as a World Cultural Heritage site, it seems that the road in Westside having splendid Mt. Fuji close at hand has revived as a road of pilgrimage.
