History
This mountain worship shrine is said to have been founded as the main shrine on Mount Kinpu during the reign of Emperor Yuryaku. It serves as the center of Kinpusan faith (also known as Ontake faith). Until the late Edo period, it was called Zao Gongen, and a document from the 4th year of Keio refers to it as 'Kanasakura Jinja.' It was revered as a place of prayer for the Kai Takeda clan, and it is said that Hojo Tokiyori and Kukai were also involved with the shrine.

What visitors say
There are many highlights, including the vibrant red shrine buildings, carvings of ascending and descending dragons, and the sacred tree, the Kanasakura. Visitors can also enjoy spectacular views of Mount Fuji. Known as the birthplace of crystals, the shrine is popular for its goshuin (calligraphic seal stamps) stamped with large crystal seals and its crystal omamori (amulets). Although there are steep stairs for worship, visitors can choose a route from the parking lot to the main hall.
