Kitaguchi Hongu Fuji Sengen Shrine

Kitaguchi Hongu Fuji Sengen Shrine

北口本宮冨士浅間神社

Yamanashi · Chubu

Kitaguchi Hongū Fuji Sengen Shrine — also listed in some guides as Fujiyoshida Sengen Shrine — is the Shinto shrine at the northern base of Mount Fuji in Fujiyoshida, and the traditional starting point of the Yoshida ascent route. NOTE FOR THE NEXT CONTENT PASS: the rest of this entry still needs a sourced rewrite. The previous text was generic filler and was written against the wrong name and a pin 8.5 km away, so nothing in it can be trusted as describing this shrine; only the identification above is verified, from OSM way 1323583752.

Why we picked it

Many travelers focus solely on Mount Fuji and miss this cultural gem nearby.
