I visited Fujinomiya City in Shizuoka Prefecture.
The city locates at the foot of Mr. Fuji and we can enjoy close scene of the mountain when the weather is good. It was unfortunately rainy and I could not see it.
The city is also famous for Sengen Shrine (official name is Fujisan Hongu Sengen Taisha). The shrine is the head of about 1300 Sengen of Asama shrines in Japan. The shrines worship Mt. Fuji and other volcanos.
There locates Wakutamaike pond in the shrine. Fresh water from Mr. Fuji comes out from the ground here and composes a pond. The water is said to be one of the most clean waters in the region.
I saw many water birds swimming.
