A Day in the Country Side in Japan . 日本の村
Fujinomiya has developed around the Sengen Grand Shrine. The shrine is the headquarters of the Sengen shrines around Japan worshipping Mt. Fuji as the deity named Princess of Blossoms (Konohana-sakuya-hime). On the shrine’s ground 500 cherry trees are dedicated to her. She is the symbol of beauty and piety thus the guardian of happy home and easy childbirth. Because the town is well-watered thanks to runoff from Mt. Fuji, people come here to pray also for water, safety while traveling, fishing and good harvest, and against fires. The current pavilions were built under the patronage of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the father of the Edo shogunate government, in 1604. Ieyasu’s donation enabled the Sengen Grand Shrine to manage the summit area of Mt. Fuji above the 8th station as part of its precincts.
Wakutama-ike, which literally means Pond of Rising Bubbles, is one of the notable structures in the main precincts of the Sengen Grand Shrine. It is a spring of the rainwater and the melted snow of Mt. Fuji that travel through the aquifer made of layers of volcanic rock before bubbling up from the ground. Hence the pond is the end of the ancient lava flow. This large quantity of water flows into Kanda River running through Fujinomiya City. The pond is designated as a special natural monument (tokubetsu tennen kinen-butsu).
