Discover more about Fuji Rokusho Sengen Shrine

Fuji Rokusho Sengen Shrine, or Fujirokusho Sengen Jinja, is a significant Shinto shrine located in Fuji City, Shizuoka Prefecture. As one of the primary Sengen shrines dedicated to Mount Fuji, it holds a special place in the region's spiritual and cultural heritage. The shrine is often called Mikkaichi Sengen Shrine by locals. According to tradition, the shrine was initially established on the slopes of Mount Fuji in the 2nd year of Emperor Kōshō. Due to volcanic eruptions, it was relocated to its current location in 785. Over the centuries, the shrine has been revered by emperors and military leaders alike. Takeda Shingen, a prominent warlord, granted the shrine to Kunō-dera temple in 1570 as a reward for prayers for military success. Originally named "Rokusho-no-Miya" or "Rokusho Sengen-no-Miya", the shrine was renamed Fujirokusho Sengen Shrine in 1872. The main and worship halls were rebuilt in October 2015. A sacred camphor tree, estimated to be over 1200 years old, stands to the east of the shrine buildings and is designated as a natural monument of Shizuoka Prefecture. The shrine hosts several major festivals throughout the year. These festivals include celebrations of nature, memorial services for war dead, and prayers for world peace, drawing large crowds and featuring local vendors and performances.
