Visit at a glance

Estimated visit time: 30–60 minutes
Ordinary worship and the main precinct walk; excludes transport, formal prayers, exhibitions, queues and mountain hikes. A travel-planning estimate, not an official visit duration. Pace, route and crowds affect the time.
Getting there: JNTO gives about 15 minutes on foot from Fujinomiya Station on the JR Minobu Line. Fujinomiya and Fujiyoshida are on different sides of Mount Fuji; add intercity transport when comparing their shrines.
Grounds hours: Current seasonal gate times could not be reconfirmed because the shrine website was unavailable during this check. Plan a daytime visit and verify opening arrangements before travel.
Office hours: Current amulet, goshuin and formal-prayer reception hours were not reconfirmed in accessible official/public sources. Do not infer them from precinct access.
Admission categories: General-entry charges were not explicitly confirmed in the checked official/public sources. Offerings, amulets, formal prayers and any paid exhibitions are separate.

Prayer source

Enshrined kami

Konohanasakuya-hime no Mikoto (Asama no Okami)

A short history

The shrine's history links its present location to a move from Yamamiya in 806; this is recorded as tradition. It became a centre of worship on Fuji's southern side. Tokugawa Ieyasu sponsored the main sanctuary, now an Important Cultural Property.

Before you go

This entry and map point refer to the Fujinomiya foothill shrine, not the summit Okumiya. Mount Fuji views depend on weather. The pond's designation is distinct from a building designation; childbirth prayers are a tradition, not a guarantee.
