Fujisan Hongu Sengen-taisha

Fujisan Hongu Sengen-taisha in Fujinomiya, Shizuoka, is the ichinomiya of former Suruga Province and the head shrine of about 1,300 Sengen shrines nationwide. The okumiya stands on the summit of Mount Fuji at 3,776 meters; the area above the eighth station, some 3.85 million square meters, is registered as shrine land. The main deity is Konohanasakuya-hime no Mikoto, recorded in Kojiki (712 CE) as the wife of Ninigi no Mikoto in the Tensonkorin episode, who bore three sons in flames. She is venerated as the deity of Mount Fuji under the title Sengen Daikami. Her father Oyamatsumi and husband Ninigi are enshrined alongside. Engishiki Jinmyocho (927 CE) registers the shrine as a Myojin-Taisha of Fuji District. Tokugawa Ieyasu built the two-storied tower main hall in 1604 and donated the summit lands of Mount Fuji to the shrine in 1609. The site was registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2013.
