Fujinomiya developed as the Shrine town of Sengen Taisha. Sengen Taisya is the official entrance of Mt. Fuji, while on the top of Mt. Fuji, there is the upper shrine of Sengen Taisha. The eastern half of Fujinomiya is on the slopes of Mt. Fuji. It has many springs fed from the pure waters of Mt. Fuji, and consequently the food produced from the water has rich flavours. Northern Fujinomiya has many dairies because the altitude is over 1,000m above sea level, and that is perfect for dairy cows.

Sengen Taisha
Sengen Grand Shrine (浅間大社, sengen taisya) is the traditional entrance of Mt. Fuji, and the greatest of all 1,300 Sengen Shrines in Japan. Established by the 11th Japanese Emperor Suijin, it enshrines Konohanasakuya no Mikoto, the goddess of Mt. Fuji. On the top of Mt. Fuji, its penetralia is enshrined. The Sengen Shrine was ordained as the first shrine of Suruga from the imperial court, and many Shogun and politicians, such as Minamoto no Yoritomo, Ashikaga Takauji, Takeda Shingen and Toyotomi Hideyoshi each donated treasures here. The current buildings and gates were built by Tokugawa Ieyasu. Today, as the entrance of Mt. Fuji and for its faith, many people worship here.
