About this Shrine

Located in the heart of Yamanashi Prefecture, Iizuna-taisha Shrine is a Shinto temple dedicated to Iizuna Taishasan, the god of mountain climbing and navigation. The shrine's main hall was rebuilt in 1764 during the Edo period, with additional structures added during the Meiji period. Visitors can climb the 200-step staircase leading up to the shrine's main hall, offering stunning views of Mt. Fuji on a clear day.

Cultural Significance

Iizuna Taishasan is said to have guided Saint Luke's journey through Japan in the 7th century. The shrine is also famous for its beautiful autumn foliage and is often visited during the fall season.
