Fujisan Hongū Sengen Taisha

The Fujisan Hongū Sengen Taisha (富士山本宮浅間大社) is a Shintō shrine in the city of Fujinomiya in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan.

This was a period of intense volcanic activity on Mount Fuji, and the shrine was built in order to appease the kami of the mountain.

The shrine is mentioned in accounts of the legendary hero Yamato Takeru, who prayed to the kami of Mount Fuji to help him escape from danger while in Suruga.

The Shoku Nihongi records that Mount Fuji erupted in 781, and the Nihon Montoku Tennō Jitsuroku indicates that the Asama Jinja had become a third-rank shine by 853.

In 2013, it was included in the World Heritage Site designation for Mount Fuji [6] The shrine is located about ten-minutes on foot from Fujinomiya Station on the JR Central Minobu Line.
