About this Shrine

Located in the city of Narita, Chiba Prefecture, the Futarasan Shrine is a Shinto shrine dedicated to the god of Mount Fuji, as well as other local deities. The shrine was originally built during the Nara period (710-794 CE), but it has undergone several renovations and expansions throughout its history. The current main hall dates back to the 17th century, while the shrine's torii gate is from the Meiji period (1868-1912 CE). Futarasan Shrine is famous for its beautiful gardens and traditional architecture. It is a popular destination for tourists and locals alike, particularly during cherry blossom season.

Cultural Significance

Futarasan Shrine is also known for its connections to Japanese folklore and mythology. The god of Mount Fuji, Futarasan, is said to reside within the mountain itself, making it a unique example of a Shinto shrine dedicated to a deity who resides in a natural landscape rather than being a local kami.
