The Fujizuka of Shinagawa Shrine

It should be noted that the Fujizuka at Shinagawa Shrine is relatively new. It is said to have been first constructed in 1869 (Meiji 2). However, it was once destroyed due to the Shinto and Buddhism Separation Order. It was rebuilt in 1872 (Meiji 5).
Subsequently, it is said to have been moved to its current location in 1922 (Taisho 11) due to the construction of the Dai-ichi Keihin Road. The Dai-ichi Keihin Road (formerly the Meiji No. 1 National Highway, now National Route 15, which connects Chuo Ward, Tokyo, to Kanagawa Ward, Yokohama City, i.e., Yokohama Port) was constructed between 1918 (Taisho 7) and 1930 (Showa 5). The Great Kanto Earthquake of September 1, 1923 (Taisho 12) occurred during this period. After the great earthquake, this construction was a major project undertaken as part of the earthquake reconstruction efforts.
Since the Soryu Torii (twin dragon torii gate) was donated in 1925 (Taisho 14), the Fujizuka (1922) and the Soryu Torii (1925) were both in place around the time of the Great Kanto Earthquake (1923), completing the current appearance of Shinagawa Shrine.
Furthermore, what makes this Fujizuka highly regarded is not only its size, with a height of 15 meters, but also the fact that the "Fujiko" (Mount Fuji worship group) is still active today, and events such as the "mountain opening" are held by the group. (While there are many places where the mountain opening of a Fujizuka is carried out as an event by a shrine or local government, there are few examples where it is carried out by a Fujiko.) Perhaps the fact that the Fujizuka is relatively new, dating back to 1922 (Taisho 11) in terms of its relocation, has led to this "good fortune."
Also, while some Fujizuka cannot be climbed for safety reasons, this Fujizuka is open to the public, and it was wonderful to be able to enjoy an authentic climb up Mount Fuji.
