Fujisan Hongū Sengen Taisha

Fujisan Hongū Sengen Taisha is a Shinto shrine honoring Asama no Okami, the kami of volcanoes. It was established to pacify Mount Fuji's rage after its eruptions by Emperor Suijin in ancient times. The shrine was later moved by Emperor Heizei in 806 to its present location in Ohmiya. It has served as the head shrine for over 1,300 Sengen shrines throughout Japan for over 1,100 years. The shrine has expanded over the years with more buildings added. The main enshrined kami is Konohanasakuya-hime, with secondary kami including Ninigi-no-mikoto, her husband and ancestor of the first emperor, and Ōyamatsumi-no-mikoto, her father. In 2013, the shrine was included in the World Heritage List as part of the Fujisan Cultural Site.
