Formally known as Kitaguchi Hongu Fuji Sengen Jinja, this atmospheric shrine is dedicated to Princess Konohanasakuya, the deity of Mount Fuji. Visitors approach along a mossy lantern-lined avenue flanked by centuries-old cedar trees, leading to intricately carved wooden halls radiating ancient spiritual grandeur. As the historic starting point for climbing the volcano's northern slopes, it offers a deeply reverent connection to Japan's most iconic mountain. It remains an essential cultural stop for anyone exploring the surrounding lake district.
