D	Daisei Iketani (Pix4Japan) on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The Kita-Guchi Hongu Fuji Sengen-Jinja Shrine, originally built in the 17th century, was listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in 2013. Back in the day, this shrine was where worshippers of Mt. Fuji would first visit to purify themselves before making their ascent to the peak of Mt. Fuji, which was viewed as a God. The original trail head is located behind this shrine and is still used today by some climbers. However, in the modern era, Mt. Fuji has been promoted more as a tourist attraction. Nowadays, climbers can drive or take a bus part way up the mountain to one of several different stations, and start their climb from there. The 275-meter path (903 feet) that is lined with very old cedar trees and stone lanterns leading to the main entrance of the Kitaguchi Hongu Fuji Sengen-jinja Shrine's main dark vermillion torii gate sits at the base of Mt. Fuji. Standing at 18 m high (59 ft), the torii gate is one of the largest in Japan. The "gate" is where you enter the realms of the Gods. This shrine (originally built in 1615) houses three deities of which one is the goddess of Mt. Fuji. She is also a god for the safe delivery of newborn babies. Near the main shrine, you can enjoy foliage of the Nanairo-Okaede (七色大カエデ / seven-color large maple), which is said to change seven colors from spring to autumn. This particular tree standing next to the Kita-Guchi Hongu Fuji Sengen-Jinja Shrine is very old and needs crutches to prevent its branches from breaking during the heavy snow falls that occur near the base of Mt. Fuji.
V	Valentino Rocco on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It's really huge Shrine to walk around! The nature always speak itself so no need to describe much about it. Although this was back before the covid so it was quite crowded when I went there. To get a cool shot you should come early in the morning
ジ	ジェームス on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We went during the autumn leave season. Several families were there with their children for the shichi-go-san ceremony. There's was a generous parking area for people arriving by car (most visitors). We went at 11am on a busy weekend and could still find a parking space pretty quickly. Impressive Shinto shrine with several majestic trees flanking the sides - one of them a thousand year old apparently. Definitely worth a trip.
T	TominJapan on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It's a famous shrine, beautiful architecture and free parking. But you cannot see the mount Fuji unfortunately.
J	Jacob Newcomb on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A beautiful large temple, surrounded by tall trees. It is one of the primary Fuji sengen type temples in Japan, and the most beautiful in Fuji Yoshida in my opinion, and well worth a visit. The grounds have some incredibly old trees, including two that have fused into one. They also hold a fire festival in late August. I highly recommend it.
A	Anthony Traylor on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Absolutely beautiful shrine! Came here about 12 years ago when I was hiking up to Mt Fuji. Came back today to pay my respects! A serene experience, quiet forest and beautiful greenery.
