It seemed that not many foreigners approached the main shrine but did not worship there. I visited the magnificent shrine with the foreigners who were passing by for the observatory by my side.

There are 398 steps in a straight line from top to bottom, and you can reach the observatory if you take breaks, but children and the elderly should take the slope, as the slope is gentler on the feet and legs than the steps. Personally, I recommend that you also visit Kitaguchi Hongu Fuji Sengen Shrine, located about 15 minutes by car from Niikura Fuji Sengen Shrine. Fuji, but the shrine has a quiet and sacred atmosphere.

Manager’s comment.

Fuji, cherry blossoms, and the five-story pagoda. The cherry blossom season is quite crowded, so early morning is the best time to visit the temple. One thing to note is that the manners of foreign tourists are bad, and they invade without care even if the area is off-limits, making the photo spots lawless. There is a possibility of being offended by the litter, so I think you should be prepared for that.
