From Fujisan Station to the entrance of Kitaguchi Hongu Fuji Sengen Shrine, we will walk through the Kamiyoshida area, where the houses of the "Oshi" (religious guides) who supported the history of Mount Fuji worship line the streets.
Fujimichi Stroll ~A walking tour of the town with a local guide~
Fujimichi Sanpo is a walking tour of Fujiyoshida City in Yamanashi Prefecture, where local residents and newcomers—all "Mt. Fuji fans"—guide you through the city's history and charm.
Based on the concept of "Exploring a town and its people, nurtured by the history of Mount Fuji worship," this project is run by members who share a desire to "take on activities that benefit the community," "learn more about this town," and "boost tourism."
Fujiyoshida is a town at the foot of Mount Fuji that has welcomed climbers for over 450 years, and it has a rich history and many attractions, including being one of Japan's leading weaving towns.
Why not explore its charms while walking with a local guide? We hope it will add some spice to your trip.
