One theory holds that the prefecture's name, Yamanashi, comes from this shrine.
First shrine of Kai Province, built to quiet the eruptions of Fuji.
First shrine of Kai Province, standing among peach orchards.
Built to quiet the eruptions of Fuji. It stands in the middle of an orchard valley.
It sprang up suddenly out of a vineyard, and was called the open-air spring.
Themed on the province's rivers and the people who kept living beside them despite the floods.
One site yielded 1,116 clay figures, nearly all deliberately broken - breaking them appears to have been the ritual.
In this basin the roadside deity is not carved into a figure but is simply a rounded stone - a form found almost nowhere else.
