This shrine is said to have had its start in 100 A.D., when a small shrine was built to celebrate the visit of prince Yamato Takeru-no Mikoto to this hill when he was on his way to Kai Province from Hakone. Later in 788, an altar was built to enshrine Sengen God at the present site to halt the frequent eruptions of Mt. Fuji.

While Mt. Fuji had been worshipped since ancient times and regarded as sacred, with the rise of mountain worship, people eventually began climbing mountain for ascetic training and this shrine became a basis of Mt. Fuji worship. In the Edo era, "Fuji-ko" worship gained explosive popularity and this area flourished as its sacred spot. The site was designated as one of Mt. Fuji World Heritage Site Assets in 2013.

A beloved neighborhood shrine known by locals as "Shimosengen" located in the center of the Shimoyoshida neighborhood. It is said to have first been built in 807 and has served as a spiritual site for the people of the region ever since. It is famous for its Tsutsugayu Festival held annually on January 14-15 which predicts the year's agricultural yield and number of Mt. Fuji climbers and is a tradition that's continued for over 800 years. Another famous festival, the Yabusame Festival, is held annually on September 18-19. Though Yabusame Horseback Archery Festivals exist throughout the country, the festival here differs from others as it does not focus on the technical archery but on the hoof tracks left by the horses which are analyzed after each round to tell the neighborhood's fortunes in the coming year.

The shrine was founded in 705 to enshrine the deity of the site. Following the great eruption of Mt. Fuji in 807, the emperor dispatched an imperial envoy to this shrine to perform a ritual to halt the eruption. It is said that during the Warring States Period, when Takeda Nobutora, the father of a famous warlord Takeda Shingen, battled with the Hojo Family, he set up camp here, prayed for victory, and won the battle. He then dedicated his sword to this shrine.

Today, locals and those from afar visit the shrine to ward off evil, to pray for family happiness, and safe childbirth. In the spring, the cherry blossom trees bloom and crowds gather to enjoy the stunning view of Mt. Fuji.
