Yoshida Ascending Route
Main content starts here.
Mt. Fuji World Cultural Heritage Site Asset (Registered in June 2013)Yoshida Ascending Route is one of the essential components in demonstrating the outstanding universal value of Mt. Fuji as an “object of worship.” Yoshida Ascending Route is a mountain trail up to the summit on the east side of Mt. Fuji, from the starting point at Kitaguchi Hongu Fuji Sengen-jinja Shrine, located at the northern foot of Mt. Fuji. The 2nd station of Yoshida Ascending Route (1,720m above sea level) is a place where, according to legend, an idol of worship with the inscribed year in the late 12th century was dedicated, and supposedly a site for ascetic practices was formed in the 13th to 14th century at the latest. Even now, a lot of climbers use this route. The tradition of the main mountain trail for worshippers of the Mr. Fuji religion has been handed down from person to person.
