Mt. Fuji Guide Map
Passing along the spirituality and culture
of Mt. Fuji; a mountain that has special
meaning to Japanese people of all walks
of life.
From ancient times, the Japanese people have revered and respected
Mt. Fuji and have dedicated daily prayer and gratitude to the Goddess
thought to preside over it. They have always been in awe of Mt. Fuji,
the mountain that soars high above the natural world. This has
transformed into a form of religious worship for the malevolent
mountain God that is believed to have caused frequent eruptions.
Thus, Mt. Fuji has taken on a major presence as a holy mountain.
Its violent eruptions combined with its divine and majestic beauty
have always spurred the creativity of the Japanese people. During the
Edo Period, Mt. Fuji inspired numerous works of art, including the
famous ukiyo-e woodblock prints; making it a worldwide symbol of the
Japanese culture.
Mt. Fuji serves as a source of culture and spirituality and has been a
constant feature at the core of the Japanese heart since historic times.
It has been an iconic figure and a central theme to Japanese aesthetics.
Depiction of the Fujisan Kitaguchi Chinka-sai（Fire Extinguishing）Festival.（From the Fujisan Museum Collection）
The Origin of Mt. Fuji
The current form of Mt. Fuji comes from a former volcano referred to as
“Ko-Fuji”or “Old Mt. Fuji.” It was located on the mountainside of another
volcano, known as Mt. Komitake, approximately 100,000 years ago. The
current Mt. Fuji came into existence by lava flows that accumulated and
covered these two mountains throughout a series of eruptions. It took on its
current beautiful conical shape approximately 10,000 years ago.

Mt. Fuji, a holy mountain
Our ancestors feared Mt. Fuji’s malevolence
while admiring its spiritual beauty.
The Sacred Mt. Fuji
– a Look at Japanese Faith
The people of Japan have long been in
awe of the repeatedly erupting Fujisan（Mt.
Fuji）Believing that gods resided within the
mountain, the Sengen Jinja Shrines were
built at Fujisan’ s base in order to quell
eruptions.
Around the 12th centur y, Fujisan’ s
volcanic activity subsided and it became a
center for the “Shugen-do” religion, which
was an amalgamation of ancient Japanese
mountain worship, esoteric Buddhism, and
other religions.
A priest named Matsudai who was active
in the early 12th century built the Dainichiji
Temple at the summit. In the 15th or 16th
century, ordinary people as accompanied by Shugen-do
practitioners began to m a ke worship-ascents of the mountain,
and it is thought that Hasegawa Kakugyo（1541-1646 ?）, who
appeared from the 16th to the 17th centuries, shaped a new Fujisan
worship into a doctrine.
Kakugyo’s teachings were passed on to his disciples. His “Fuji-ko”
sect of worship became extremely popular primarily in the Kanto
region in the mid-18th century, and many people began to make
worship-ascents of Fujisan or make pilgrimages to spiritual spots in
areas such as Fujigoko（Fuji Five Lakes）.
In the late 19th century the
prohibition on women climbing to
the summit was lifted, and trains and
road networks developed, resulting
in many people aiming to climb to
the summit.

Mt. Fuji, art inspiration
Artists throughout history were inspired by the
magic of Mt. Fuji as it kindled their imagination.
The Mountain that Gave Birth to
Japanese Art that Transcended Oceans
Because of its beautiful form, Fujisan（Mt. Fuji）
has been the subject matter for various creative
activities. “Man-yoshu,” the oldest existing
collection of Japanese poetry compiled in the 8th
century, contains works that used Fujisan as a
theme, and one of those works says that Fujisan is
Japan’s serene goddess and treasure. The volcanic
smoke that arose at that time was depicted in
many literary works as a symbol of passionate love.
Fujisan also appeared in classic works such as
“ Taketori Monogatari（ The Tale of the Bamboo
Cutter）
, ” “Kokinwakashu,” and “Ise Monogatari,”
as well as the haiku of Matsuo Basho（1644-1694）and Yosa Buson（1716-1784）
and the works of Natsume Soseki（1867-1916）and Dazai Osamu（1909-1948）.
Some of the most famous representations of Fujisan are the ukiyo-e printed
from the 18th to the 19th centuries. Among those ukiyo-e, Katsushika Hokusai
（1760-1849）depicted Fujisan as seen from various places in such works as
“ Thirty-Six Views of Mt. Fuji,” and Utagawa Hiroshige（1797-1858）did the
same in his “ Thirty-Six Views of Mt. Fuji,” and “ Fifty-Three Stations of the
Tokaido.” Ukiyo-e also influenced impressionist artists such as Van Gogh and
Monet.
In modern Japanese painting, artists such as Yokoyama Taikan（1868-1958）,
who is known for “Gunjo Fuji（Fujisan Dyed Ultramarine）,” are creating many
works that include Fujisan.
Because of such factors, it can be said that as a source of artistic inspiration
Fujisan has a value appropriate for a World Cultural Heritage.

The shrine moved to its current location in 788AD, a result of eruptions that
continued to cause fear and unease throughout the region, as a place to
worship the then volatile Mt. Fuji from a distance. Owing to the expansive
popularity of Fujiko religious associations during the Edo Period (1603-1868),
the shrine, alongside the Oshi religious guides at the northern base of Mt.
Fuji, rose to prominence and continues its legacy as the center of Mt. Fuji
worship to this day. The dense grove that surrounds the magnificent shrine
continues to tell the tale of its significance in spreading Mt. Fuji worship.

The “Oyama-biraki” or “Kaizan-sai” (Mountain Opening
Festival) is held annually on June 30th, the eve of the first
day of the climbing season, to pray for tranquility on Mt. Fuji
and the safety of all climbers. A large “shimenawa” rope
strung across the torii gate at the entrance to the Yoshidaguchi Climbing Trail is severed with a wooden mallet by
“Tajikara-O-no-Mikoto,” a mythical god representing great
physical strength, as the ceremonious “opening” of the trail
and start of the climbing season.

The Yoshida Fire Festival or “Chinkasai” (Fire Extinguishing
Festival) is held annually on August 26th and is also known as
the ceremonial end to the climbing season. Once the two
“mikoshi” (portable shrines) are paraded throughout town on
the eve of the 26th, the large “Myojin-mikoshi” taking the lead
and the red, Fuji-shaped “Mikage-mikoshi” following close
behind, approximately 80 grand 3-meter torches are set
ablaze along the main thoroughfare, the climax of the event.

This historic path is the only route leading from the foot of the mountain to
the summit. Pilgrims and Fuji-ko practitioners donned white religious
apparel and sedge hats and headed for the summit with kongozue walking
staffs. Through the dense primeval forests at the mountain’s base, they
walked along heavy foliage, wild birds, and historic markers as they made
their way up to the 5th Sta.

From the time when Matsudai Shonin constructed the Dainichi-ji temple in the
mid-12th century, the summit has been home to many religious activities. Other
temples and Buddhist effigies have been built. Religious pilgrims climbed to praise
goraiko（the sunrise at Mt. Fuji）, worshiped the deities and Buddhas enshrined in the
Naiin（crater）, and gone on Ohachi Meguri walks around the summit’s crater. Many
climbers still carry on these traditions today.

It is common to walk around the summit crater one time in a

the summit was often called “hachiyo”（eight petals）to symbolize

Mt. Fuji’s eruptions brought many wonders
About fifteen thousand years ago, water seeped
into the caved-in area created by an eruption of
“Ko-Fuji” or “Old Mt. Fuji” volcano and created the
four lakes:Lake Utsuko, Lake Senoumi, Old Lake
Kawaguchiko, and Lake Asumiko. Each time an
eruption occurred, the number and shapes of the
lakes changed. Lava flow coming from the eruptions
divided Lake Utsuko into Lake Yamanakako and
Lake Oshinoko. It created Lake Kawaguchiko and
cut Senoumi. It also created Lake Motosuko. After
that, Lake Oshinoko mostly dried up which left
the Oshino Hakkai（eight ponds of Oshino）
. The major Jogan eruption of 864 split Senoumi
into Lake Saiko and Lake Shojiko. The three lakes:
Saiko, Shojiko, and Motosuko share a consistently
fixed water level, so it’s assumed that they are all
connected by an underground water vein. The
expansive Aokigahara Jukai primeval forest has
spread out over a long period of time over a lava
field on the skirts of the mountain. Lava caves and
tree molds created by eruptions are scattered
throughout the area.
A view of Mt. Fuji and the lake from Koanso Mae
Motosuko is the deepest and clearest of the Fuji Five Lakes. The view from
the northwest bank is illustrated on the 1000 yen bill. It’s known as Kohan
no Haru or Lakeside Spring（photo taken by Okada Koyo）. Nanasha
Daimyojin and several other historical spots still remain. Fresh water scuba
diving, sockeye salmon fishing, and camping are popular here.

This is the smallest of the Fuji Five Lakes. In 1895, a British man
named Harry Stewart Whitworth established this location as having
the best view of Mt. Fuji and built the first hotel in the Fuji Five Lakes
Area here. From the nature observation route, you can trace the
movement of the Aokigahara lava flow. This is also considered a
fishing mecca throughout the Kanto Region for its herabuna fishing.
This indigo-colored lake is the second deepest of the Fuji Five Lakes and serves
as a habitat to Fuji Marimo moss balls. Kunimasu, a type of sockeye salmon, had
not been seen for about 70 years, but they were discovered here in 2010. This
amazing find garnered considerable attention. On the west bank are the
primeval woods called the Aokigahara Jukai forest, where you can see lava caves
like the: Ryugu Doketsu, Fugaku Fuketsu, and the Narusawa Hyoketsu.
