北口富士浅間神社 world heritage site: North Sengen Shrine for pilgrimage to Mr.Fuji
WORLD CULTURAL HERITAGE
Mount Fiji, the highest mountain of Japan has been a symbol of worship for many Japanese for its dignified shape and pure beauty. Many people climbed the top to offer their prayer for their health and prosperity for ages. For those who tried to climb the top, many routes were developed and lodging inns were built, and for those who could not climb the steep and high mountain, many temples and shrines were built along the routes at the foot of the mountains. The mountain and its surrounding remains/buildings are now preserved under the designation of the UNESCO’s World Cultural Heritage in 2017.
