Komuro Sengen Shrine

A historic shrine affectionately known by locals as 'Shimomiya Sengen,' where a white horse welcomes visitors. Located in the heart of the Shimoyoshida district of Fujiyoshida, this is the Fuji-san Shimomiya Komuro Sengen Shrine. Every year, after the Yabusame Festival, each town within the parish invites a priest to perform a ritual called 'Ohimachi Akihako,' based on the results of the 'Bateiura' (horse hoof divination) from the festival. After the prayers, each household receives a small paper talisman, praying for a year free from fires, disputes, and other calamities. This event continues until early November.
