場所埼玉県川口市 鎮守氷川神社と富士塚

埼玉県川口市青木 川口オートレース場の近くに鎮守氷川神社はある。ごく普通の神社のようだが、元川口市長の像が境内にある。また東京や埼玉の神社にはよくあることのようだが富士塚がある。

During the Edo period, worship of Mount Fuji spread among the common people, leading to the formation of faith organizations known as "Fuji-kō." To accommodate those unable to climb the mountain, miniature versions called "Fuji-zuka" were constructed across Japan, including many that remain in Tokyo today. These structures allowed worshippers to pay homage to Mount Fuji from a distance, reflecting the mountain's significance as a sacred site in Japanese culture.
