Kitaguchi Hongu Fuji Sengen-jinja Shrine
2016.12.22
I visited Kitaguchi Hongu Fuji Sengen-jinja Shrine in Yoshida-cho, Yamanashi Prefecture for the company trip this fall.
As I walked through the gate of the shrine which was large and powerful, there were two large and tall trees standing on both sides of Haiden (the front shrine). These trees are 1000 years old and called Fujitaro Sugi (cedar trees) and Fuji Meoto Hinoki (cypress trees). Even the trees were very old but they still looked fresh, strong and beautiful. When I touched them, I felt very sacred.
There are also the main shrine, the west main shrine and the east main shrine in the precinct
which are registered as important cultural properties. .
If you have a chance, how about visiting Kitaguchi Hongu Fuji Sengen-jinja Shrine?
