Sengen Shrine	# 4   of 4 sights in Fuji Five Lakes

Main building Start of the trail There are more than one thousand Fuji Sengen Shrines across Japan, dedicated to Princess Konohanasakuya, the Shinto deity of Mount Fuji. Fuji-Yoshida's Sengen Shrine, formally known as Kitaguchi Hongu Sengen Jinja (North Entrance Sengen Main Shrine), is the main Sengen Shrine on the north side of Mount Fuji. In the past, most pilgrims approaching the mountain from the north side, would commence their ascent from this shrine. While the trail to the summit still starts directly next to the main hall, most of today's hikers opt for a bus or car ride to the 5th Station, halfway up the mountain, and start to climb from there. Fuji-Yoshida's Sengen Shrine stands in a dense forest of tall cedar trees. The current shrine buildings date from 1615 and are dedicated important cultural properties.
