후지산에 대한 이야기는 이 신사를 빼놓고는 이야기 할 수 없을 정도로 후지 신앙의 중심지이며 후지산을 경배하고 관장하는 신사로 후지산 8부 능선에서 정상까지를 경내로 하는 후지산 신앙의 근원지입니다. 또 신사는 후지산 지하수 샘물이 흘러 나오는 곳에 둘러싸여 있으며 지하수 샘물이 모여서 연못을 만들고 그 연못 안에 많은 물고기와 오리가 떠 있는 모습은 가히 아름다운 후지산의 한 폭의 그림을 보는 것 같습니다. 전국1,300여개의 센겐 신사의 총 본산이며 경내의 아름다운 색채와 모습의 본전, 배전, 벚꽃문은 이에야스의 건립 기증물입니다. 그 중 본전과 배전은 중요 문화재로 지정되어 있습니다. 다카사고 청주제조회사 오미야 쉼터의 만남의 광장 신사의 서쪽에는 1820년부터 후지산 지하수 샘물로 맛있게 술을 빚어온 다카사고 청주 제조 회사가 있습니다. 연하고 단 맛의 후지산 지하수의 맛을 만끽할 수 있습니다. 또 신사의 앞에는 아담한 후지노미야 상가가 있고 그 곳에는 조용한 쉼터의 만남의 광장이 있는데 누구나 부담없이 휴식을 취할 수 있는 자유 공간입니다. 깨끗한 샘물에 의해 가꾸어져 온 후지노미야의 식문화를 계절의 바람과 함께 맛보세요.
