Summit of Mt. Fuji falls under ownership of Shinto shrine

SHIZUOKA, Japan - The Japanese central government granted a document Dec. 17 to a Shinto shrine conceding the ownership of the land on the summit of Mt. Fuji to it for free. The handover was made in line with a Supreme Court ruling 30 years ago acknowledging the ownership by the Fujisan Hongu Sengentaisha shrine of 3.85 million square meters of land covering areas from the 3,350-meter level of the highest Japanese mountain to the 3,776-meter top, government officials said.
