I Go To Mt. Fuji World Heritage Centre and Wakutama Pond


There was a shallow natural spring-fed water basin in front of the Centre.
The basin reflected the cone-shaped Exhibition Building inverted.
It created a mirror image of the shape of Mt. Fuji,







Pictures of Wakutama Pond follow.


Wakutamaike Pond is a spring located within the grounds of Fujisan Hongu Sengen Taisha Shrine. 
It is designated as a special natural monument by the government and is also one of the best waters.

In 2004, the shrine was registered as part of the Sacred Sites and Pilgrimage Routes in the Kii Mountain Range by UNESCO.

It is a site of worship for the kami Izanami and Kagu-tsuchi.
