About this spot
Standing at the entrance of the Yoshidaguchi Trail, the starting point for climbing Mt. Fuji, this prestigious shrine is also a component of the World Heritage site of Mt. Fuji. The moment you step inside, you are enveloped in a sacred atmosphere along an approach lined with cedar trees that are several hundred years old. The main highlights are the Fuji Great Torii, one of the largest wooden torii gates in Japan, and the imposing main buildings designated as Important Cultural Properties. The "Fuji Taro Cedar" and the "Fuji Meoto Hinoki" (twin cypress) beside the worship hall have an overwhelming presence, and many visitors come to this powerful spot to pray. It is recommended not only for history lovers but also for anyone who wants to forget the bustle of daily life and recharge. With many attractions nearby, such as Fuji-Q Highland and Lake Kawaguchi, be sure to include it in a weekend drive, a girls' trip, or a solo journey. You will surely feel the solemn atmosphere woven from the nature and history of the four seasons.
