    Yamanashi Pref. Fujiyoshidashi Kamiyoshida 5558
    This shrine boasts some 1,900 years of history and is also known as the starting point for the Mt. Fuji Yoshida Trail. The shrine flourished in the Edo period as a center for Mt. Fuji worship, and one can still sense the vestiges of this period on the shrine’s extravagant grounds. The goddess of Mt. Fuji, Konohanasakuya-hime, is enshrined here, and it is said she grants easy childbirth and the prevention of fires. The Yoshida Fire Festival, considered one of Japan’s top three unusual festivals, is held here very year on August 26 and 27.

    We would strongly recommend having a guide that knows the history if this place, it will only elevate the experience. This is a starting point for the ascent of Mt Fuji and understanding the rituals...

    Yamanashi Pref. Minamitsurugunfujikawaguchikomachi Katsuyama 3951
    Built by Fujiwara Noritada in the year 699, this shrine is the oldest on Mt. Fuji. While it was originally built at Mt. Fuji's second station, the shrine was rebuilt multiple times by the imperial family and influential warlords due to deterioration stemming from the severe surrounding natural environment and following its destruction in eruptions. It was finally relocated to its current location in 1974 in order to preserve it. The current main shrine building, a nationally-designated important cultural property, was built in 1612 by Tokugawa clan vassal Torii Naritsugu.

    Very nice. From here pilgrims used to start their climb to Mt. Fuji It is peaceful and very beautiful.

From late April to early May, it blooms with golden blossoms. The shrine is visited by many people seeking a blessing of luck with money.

    本殿の昇り龍、降り龍は、彼の左甚五郎の作と聞き訪問。ところが本物は昭和３０年に焼失、現物は昭和５８年に再建された物だとか。ちょっとがっかり。３月下旬では桜はまだ蕾。すぐ近くの夫婦木神社にお参りしてから訪問したが、直近。下の鳥居脇に数台の駐車場が見えたが、上の本殿そばの駐車場の方が広い。無料。下に駐車して杉木立の石段を歩いてお参りした方がご利益はあるかも。

Yamanashi prefecture is the proud home of one of Japan’s most celebrated icons: Mount Fuji. Although the mountain straddles both Yamanashi and Shizuoka, the most breathtaking views of Fuji-san can be seen from the Fuji Five Lakes north of the mountain in Yamanashi prefecture. The plethora of outdoor activities in and around the lakes all have the benefit of the country’s highest mountain as their backdrop, and we can assure you that it is an unforgettable sight.
