In 2013, Mount Fuji was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List as a cultural heritage site - a sacred place and a source of artistic inspiration.
Mount Fuji is also a sacred mountain for Shinto followers - as the female deity of Konohana-no-sakuyahime-no-mikoto. Three torii gates and two shrines were built on it. Until 1868, women were not allowed to climb the mountain.
