A group of faith sites on the summit
It is said that a shrine was erected on the peak at the end of the Heian period. During the Edo period, Fuji-shō's worship by Fuji-shō became popular, and temple construction and devotion of Buddha statues were performed at the summit. Many Buddhist-related objects were removed by the abolition of Buddha in the Meiji period, but the Okumiya of Kusushi Shrine and the Asama Taisha Shrine of the Mount Fuji Honmiya still stands on the summit, and remains of the ancient times such as stone Buddhas and stone monuments. It has been part of the constituent assets of the World Heritage Site "Mount Fuji-Objects of Faith and Sources of Art". In the "Okotamuri", which circles the crater, these ruins can be seen, telling the history of the Mount Fuji faith along with the "Gomikitsu", which worships the sunrise at the summit.
