Mt. Fuji Pilgrimage​

Wonders of Mt. Fuji - Spiritual places on the foothills
The symbol of Japan and famed for its beauty, Mt. Fuji is also a sacred destination that has been the object of nature worship since ancient times. Get a deeper sense of the mountain's significance through a private guided tour of historical and cultural spots associated with Mt. Fuji worship.

Every summer, thousands of people gather on the slopes of Mount Fuji and climb skyward to meet the constellations. Sculpted by millennia of eruptions into graceful symmetry, its power is easily forgotten when seen through too great a distance. Up close, Mount Fuji is a scorched sea of volcanic ash. Each footfall a reminder that underneath its silent beauty simmers a destructive force; that despite our technological progress humanity is beholden to forces of nature.

Mt. Fuji has been the sacred mountain for Japanese with awe, respect, and gratitude as the malignant god of fire and the motherly god of water since the ancient times. Lakes at the foot, well water, lava caves, climbing path and sacred shrines... all of these are the holy spots of Mt. Fuji. A universe of faith in Mt. Fuji that is magnificent and profound from the top to the extensive skirt has been established while changing the methods of prayer in history. And with Mt. Fuji registered as a World Cultural Heritage site, it seems that the road in Westside having splendid Mt. Fuji close at hand has revived as a road of pilgrimage.
