Kawaguchi Asama Shrine was established in 865, one year after the massive eruption of Mount Fuji in 864, to enshrine the deity Asama-no-Okami and appease the mountain’s wrath. Located in the town of Fujikawaguchiko, Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan, it is a designated component of the Mount Fuji World Cultural Heritage site. The grounds contain seven massive cedar trees that are over 1,200 years old. The “Chigo-no-Mai” traditional dance, designed to calm the eruption, is recognized as a National Important Intangible Folk Cultural Property. The dance is still performed by young girls on April 25th (Annual Festival) and July 28th (Taita-Gokagurasai).
