50 Fuji 7 - Hatomori Hachiman Jinja
A few minutes walk from the station, is the Hato Mori Hachiman Shrine (鳩森八幡神社), an oasis of calm with its 300-year old pine trees. This small shrine is a place of historical importance in Shibuya. Within the shrine, there is a stage for Japanese arts' performances and a Fujizuka, a replica of Mount Fuji made from stones carried from Mt. Fuji. Fuji-tsuka were common in Japan during the Edo Period and were constructed to allow people to make a symbolic pilgrimage to the sacred Mt. Fuji when travel between domains (han) was not permitted for commoners under most circumstances. This fuji-tsuka is one of the few that survives in Tokyo.
