Mount Fuji Opening Eve Festival

On the Yamanashi side of the Fuji climbing trail, the mountain opening ceremony is held every year on July 1. The night before, on June 30, the Fujisan Opening Eve Festival is conducted. Participants, including current Fujiko practitioners and local citizens, will parade from Kintori Park to the Kitaguchi Hongu Fuji Sengen Shrine, which is the starting point of the Yoshida Trail. After arriving at the shrine, offerings of Kagura dance, the Nagoshi no Harae ceremony, and the Chinu no Wakuguri will be held.
