Fuji. Founded in 110 AD, it is known as a venerable shrine with a history of over 1900 years.
The precincts are surrounded by cedar trees that are hundreds of years old, and there is a majestic and mysterious atmosphere. The large torii gate, which is about 18 meters high, is particularly impressive and leads visitors to a sacred world. The main hall and worship hall were rebuilt in the Edo period and are designated as important cultural properties of the country.

It is also famous for traditional events such as the Kaizan Festival held every July, which conveys the culture and faith of the region.This shrine, which combines nature, history, and faith, is highly regarded as a part of the World Cultural Heritage along with Mt.
The enshrined deity is "Konohanakuyahime no Hanasakuyahime no Mikoto" and her husband's deity
Three pillars of "Hikobi Kiyosuki no Mikoto" and "Oyama God Oyamatsumi" of the father god are enshrined.
The benefits are love fulfillment, matchmaking, family harmony, easy delivery, child rearing, good luck, money luck increase, etc.
There is a mountain gate which is the starting point of the Yoshida-guchi mountain trail in the back right of the worship hall.

北口本宮冨士浅間神社を訪れると、まず樹齢数百年の杉並木が作り出す静けさと神秘的な雰囲気に圧倒されます。私も冬の早朝に参拝しましたが、冷たい空気のなか杉の香りが心を落ち着かせ、まるで時が止まったかのような感覚を味わえました 。 この神社は富士山北口登山道の起点としても知られ、拝殿の右奥にある登山門からは多くの登山者が登拝に出発します。私自身も春にここから登山を始め、神社で身を清めてからの登山は特別な意味を感じました。 また、神社で引いたおみくじは吉田口登山道の守りとも言われ、登山者に人気です。恋愛成就や金運上昇など多彩な御利益があるため、単なる観光としてだけでなく、日常の願掛けの場としても訪れる価値があります。 伝統行事の「開山祭」は7月に行われ、地域の人々と参拝者が共に祈りを捧げ、富士山信仰の歴史を今に伝えています。文化財としての価値も高く、訪問することで日本の古き良き信仰と歴史に触れられる素晴らしい場所だと実感しました。 富士山の世界文化遺産構成資産の一部でもあるこの神社は、パワースポットとしてだけでなく、自然と歴史、そして人々の願いが調和する特別な空間です。初めての方にはゆっくり境内を散策し、心静かなひとときを過ごすことをおすすめします。
