Murayama Sengen Shrine
Murayama Sengen Shrine is another component part of the Mt. Fuji World Heritage sites. This designation was registered on the World Heritage list in June 2013.
This man is the first non-Japanese person to climb Mt. Fuji, British Diplomat Sir Rutherford Alcock, in September 1860. It took him eight hours to reach the summit and three hours to descend.
The Murayama Sengen Shrine was called Fujisan Kohoji Temple until the late 19th century, and was used for both Shinto and Buddhist worship. In 1868, the Japanese government ordered that Shinto and Buddhism be split apart, so the Kohoji Temple was abolished, and the Murayama Sengen Shrine and the Dainichido Hall were separated, but even today the two facilities are side by side, retaining their syncretic form.
