Welcome to Asama no Mori

It is a shrine where you can enjoy a sense of time that is different from everyday life as soon as you step into the shrine grounds.

Kawaguchi Sengen Shrine was founded in the seventh year of Jokan (A.D. 865) by imperial order to quell the eruption of Mt. Fuji. Currently, it is registered as one of the properties that make up the ``Mt. Fuji World Cultural Heritage'' as an object of faith and a source of art. Please feel the trembling of your soul at Kawaguchi Sengen Shrine, where many giant trees praise each other for the eternal passage of time.

“Asama Jinja” and “Sengen Jinja”

Currently, there are said to be approximately 1,300 Sengen Shrines across the country. Most of the shrines read it as ``Sengen,'' but our shrine customarily calls it ``Asama.'' The reason is that ``Asama'' means ``Mountain of Fire'' in old Japanese, and as a result of importing kanji from China and guessing it as ``Asama,'' it later became mainstream to read it as ``Sengen.'' There are theories, but the details are still unknown.

Lake Kawaguchi is one of the places where you can see Mt. Fuji most beautifully. By using a car or motorcycle, you can see scenery that no one has ever seen before. It's good to visit famous spots that are crowded with people, but we also recommend quietly gazing at Mt. Fuji from an empty lakeside. For foreign customers, our English-speaking staff are waiting to hear from you. Please feel free to call us.
