About
Every autumn Fujisan Hongu Sengen Taisha, the heart of Mount Fuji worship, holds its grand festival, and the town celebrates alongside it. People living at the mountain's foot, whose farms and trades depend on Fuji's spring water, use it to thank the shrine's deity for the harvest; it appears in Heian-period records and is regarded as the shrine's oldest festival. For three days, floats and festival wagons roll through Fujinomiya to Fujinomiya bayashi, music designated an intangible cultural property of Shizuoka Prefecture, and the competitive seriai take place. The peak comes on the second evening with Honmiya: floats that usually tour on separate schedules converge near the shrine and play together as an offering. Traffic is restricted in central Fujinomiya during the festival.
