Mount Fuji is an active volcano that straddles Shizuoka and Yamanashi prefectures, with an elevation of 3,776 meters. It is the highest mountain in Japan, and is also one of the Three Most Famous Mountains in Japan (the Three Holy Mountains), one of the 100 Most Famous Mountains in Japan, and one of the 100 Most Geologically Beautiful Mountains in Japan. It has also been designated as a Special Place of Scenic Beauty in Japan, and is known to all Japanese people as the "number one mountain in Japan" in both name and reality.
Its beauty and majesty are widely known as a symbol of Japan not only at home but also overseas, and in the spiritual world Mount Fuji is famous as a place where the "power of the gods" gathers.
It is said that various powers converge on Mount Fuji, and the power that emanates from the mountain itself is strong, exerting a strong influence not only on the mountains and hiking trails, but also on the wide areas overlooking Mount Fuji, such as the foothills, the Fuji Five Lakes, and the surrounding hot spring resorts.
The reason why just looking at Mount Fuji makes our hearts feel excited is probably because we unconsciously sense its immense power.
The climbing season is only from July to Aug.. There are four trailheads and buses that run to the fifth station.

Ise Shrine is located in Ise City, Mie Prefecture, and is the head shrine of the thousands of shrines throughout Japan. Its official name is Jingu. It is called "Ise Shrine" to distinguish it from other shrines.
This shrine was considered to be in a special category even under the "Modern Shrine Ranking System" which ranked shrines and was in place from the Meiji period until before the war, and it is said to have existed beyond any ranking system in Japan.
There are two Ise Grand Shrines: Kotaijingu, which enshrines Amaterasu Omikami, the deified sun, and Toyouke Daijingu, which enshrines Toyouke no Omikami, the guardian deity of food, clothing, and shelter. These are called Naiku and Geku, respectively.
As the Naiku and Geku are located far apart, many people only visit the Naiku, which is home to tourist spots such as Okage Yokocho. However, the correct way to visit is to first visit the Geku, and then the Naiku.
Ise Shrine, which has been treasured and revered by the Imperial Court and the Imperial family since ancient times, has strong power spots throughout the grounds of both the Outer Shrine and the Inner Shrine.
Ise Grand Shrine has a dignified atmosphere that makes you stand up straight, yet it is also known as the "hometown of the Japanese heart," and you can feel a sense of security that embraces everything. Why not go on a pilgrimage to Ise Shrine, which is a place you should visit at least once?

Kumano Kodo is a pilgrimage route to Kumano Sanzan shrines (Kumano Hongu Taisha, Kumano Hayatama Taisha, and Kumano Nachi Taisha). Located in the south of the Kii Peninsula, it has been walked by many travelers for about 1,000 years.
In 2004, the "Sacred Sites and Pilgrimage Routes in the Kii Mountain Range" was registered as a World Heritage Site, and this road's popularity and value became known to many people, and it has long been considered a "special place where gods reside." This land has accepted all sorts of different religions, including Shinto, Buddhism, Shugendo, and Esoteric Shingon Buddhism, and even today it exudes a tense, solemn atmosphere.
Nachi Falls is the tallest straight waterfall in Japan with a drop of 133m and is counted among the three most famous waterfalls in Japan along with Kegon Falls and Fukuroda Falls.
Kumano Nachi Taisha Shrine, which many people visit as a powerful power spot, is a shrine that arose from nature worship, with Nachi Falls itself regarded as a god.
Just standing in front of it will overwhelm you with the splashes of the water and the roaring sound, and you will feel a surge of power throughout your entire body.

Kifune Shrine is a shrine located in Sakyo Ward, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture, and is the head shrine of the approximately 450 Kifune Shrine across the country.
The shrine is dedicated to the gods of water and matchmaking, and is a popular destination visited by many tourists from all over the country.
It is especially famous as a shrine for matchmaking, and the Heian period poet Izumi Shikibu, who had many romantic relationships, visited Kifune Shrine in an attempt to win back the heart of her estranged husband. It is said that she successfully reconciled with her husband and their marriage became happy.
Kifune Shrine is also famous for its "mizuuranaikuji," or water fortune-telling slips. If you choose a blank piece of paper and float it in the shrine's sacred water, the letters will appear.
When there are a lot of tourists, it is common to see a long line in front of the holy water.
Speaking of sightseeing around Kifune Shrine, the "Kibune Kawadoko" is a popular spot where you can enjoy meals on a platform above Kibune in the summer.
