Fuji-san Hongu Sengen Taisha is the Shinto shrine that basically owns Mt. Fuji, especially the summit area of the mountain. JR Fujinomiya Station is the closest train station to the shrine, but from Tokyo, it's most convenient to take a bus from Tokyo Station to Fujinomiya Station, taking about 2.5 hours for a little over ¥2,000.Jan 06, 2017
