Fujinomiya City 富士宮市

Fujinomiya (富士宮市) is a Japanese city located in the province of Shizuoka, on the southwestern slopes of Mount Fuji. The city grew up around the Fujinomiya Sengen Shrine, the most prominent and important shrine in the region, which is also the traditional starting point for climbing Mount Fuji, as it is the shortest and most popular route to climb Mount Fuji.

The city expanded by annexing the neighboring village of Fujine in 1955 and the villages of Kitayama, Shiraito, Kamiide and Ueno in 1956. In March 2010, the city of Shibakawa was merged into Fujinomiya.
