History

Byakko

This sacred shrine stands in the mountains of Fujinomiya, where the worship of Mount Fuji has endured since ancient times. Dedicated to Sengen Daijin, the deity of the sacred mountain, it serves as a place where pilgrims commune with the divine power flowing from Fuji's peak. The shrine has long been revered as a sanctuary for safe childbirth and has received countless prayers from devoted women throughout the centuries. Its spiritual significance extends beyond local veneration to encompass the broader traditions of Mount Fuji pilgrimage.
