It is a form of worship of Mt. Fuji. The Asama Shrines that worship Mt. Fuji are enshrined at the foot of the mountain and are the center of worship. The deity of Mt. Fuji is a woman, Konohana no Sakuya Hime. Miyako Yoshika's "Fujisan-ki" also records a beautiful princess dancing at the summit, and the mountain has been worshipped as a sacred mountain since ancient times. Asama Shrines are village shrines, and in the Middle Ages, the number of Fuji-do practitioners who climbed Mt. Fuji through these shrines increased. In the early modern period, one of these people, Hasegawa Kakugyo, appeared and established a Fuji-ko sect independent of Asama Shrine. This sect later gained great influence based on the townspeople of Edo. In modern times, sectarian Shinto sects such as Fusokyo, Jitsugyokyo, and Maruyamakyo were established.

富士山に対する信仰の一形態。富士山をまつる浅間神社は,山麓の登山口にそれぞれまつられ,信仰の中心になっている。富士山神は女性で,コノハナノサクヤヒメ(木花開耶姫)である。都良香の『富士山記』にも,山頂で美姫が舞うことを記しており,古代から霊山として信仰の対象であった。浅間神社は里宮にあたり,中世にはここを通して,富士登拝を行なう富士道者が増加した。近世にそのなかから長谷川角行という者が現れ,浅間神社から独立した富士講をつくった。これはのちに江戸町人を基盤に大きな勢力をもつにいたる。近代にはさらに扶桑教,実行教,丸山教などの教派神道が成立した。
