FUJISAN

Holy mountain

Mount Fuji is one of Japan's "Three Holy Mountains" along with Mount Tate and Mount Haku. In Shinto mythology, Kuninotokotachi (国之常立神, Kuninotokotachi-no-Kami, in Kojiki) is one of the two gods born from "something like a reed that arose from the soil" when the earth was chaotic. According to the Nihon Shoki, Konohanasakuya-hime, wife of Ninigi, is the goddess of Mount Fuji, where Fujisan Hongū Sengen Taisha is dedicated for her.
