Yamamiya Sengen Jinja Shrine

About Yamamiya Sengen Jinja Shrine

The Yohai-sho (Remote Worship Site) is a profound spot where you can experience the history of Mount Fuji worship firsthand.
The stone walls and rows made of lava create a unique landscape where natural topography and man-made ritual spaces merge.
Observe the Hokodate-ishi (Spear-standing stones) up close to feel the traces of ancient, sacred ceremonies.
For the best experience, visit on a clear, sunny day to fully appreciate the intended view of Mount Fuji.
On weekends and holidays, you may access professional insights at the information center.
