Free admission; open irregularly.

◆From mid to late April, the wisteria flowers are in full bloom ✿.
In honor of the shrine’s sacred crest, the “Fuji Tomoe” (Wisteria Crest), priest Kitaoka carefully cultivates 20 varieties and 40 wisteria plants. The shrine has become a famous wisteria spot, attracting visitors from afar. Highlights include the delicate “wisteria trellis” and other points of interest.
Starting in 2025, the “Nakami Fuji-no-Miya Fuji Festival” will be held annually to coincide with the wisteria blooming season. During the festival, a special two-night illumination event called “Hana Akari” will take place, offering a mesmerizing nighttime view of the wisteria, different from its daytime beauty.
🌸 During the peak blooming period, admission to the shrine grounds will require a fee.
Your support through the “Flower Dedication Offering” will help maintain and preserve the shrine’s facilities. We appreciate your cooperation in keeping this beautiful landscape alive.

The “Natural Stone Fuji Amulet” (¥2,000) is a handcrafted charm made by stringing together natural stones. Designed to resemble a wisteria trellis, these beautifully arranged amulets are so charming that you’ll want to collect them all!

◆ From mid-May to mid-June, the hydrangeas are in full bloom ✿
During the rainy season in June, the delicate hydrangeas come into full bloom, delighting the eyes of visitors. The beautifully tended hydrangeas, in a variety of colors and shapes, are planted in the ground or in pots. You might even catch a glimpse of the photogenic hydrangea flower water basin floating on the water.
Additionally, on one special night during the festival, the “Hana Akari” illumination event will take place, creating a magical nighttime atmosphere. A kitchen car will also be available, offering delicious treats for visitors to enjoy.

◆ Hydrangea Flower Amulet ✿
Pruned hydrangea flowers are dried and turned into amulets, with prayers for women’s health and the removal of misfortune. The “Hydrangea Flower Amulet” (initial offering fee: 2,000 yen) is believed to ward off evil and protect from women’s illnesses. Many people hang it in their entrance or bathroom, making it a cute and meaningful item for home decor.
