Fujinomiya: Tour of Sengen Grand Shrine and Shiraito Falls

Spend a day at the foot of Mt. Fuji in Fujinomiya, visiting Fujisan Hongū Sengen Grand Shrine (富士山本宮浅間大社), the head shrine of all Sengen shrines nationwide. At Omiya Yokochō in front of the shrine gates, the whole family can enjoy Fujinomiya yakisoba, a local specialty that sizzles on griddles. After learning Mt. Fuji's secrets at the Mt. Fuji World Heritage Center, which is shaped like an inverted Fuji, head to Shiraito Falls in the afternoon, where water flows like silk threads. This course is packed with power spots and local cuisine, offering an enjoyable contrast between Shiraito Falls and the nearby thundering Otodome Falls (音止の滝).
