For the sake of those who could not visit Mt. Fuji for various reasons, a mound of dirt called Fujizuka, a miniature of Mt. Fuji, was made in shrines, and so on, and torii and hokora (a small shrine) were built on top of the Fujizuka Mound, just as on the actual mountain.
様々な理由で富士詣が出来ない人々のために神社などにおいて富士塚と呼ばれる縮小版の富士山に見立てた小山が作られ、頂上には実際と同じく鳥居や祠などが設けられた。
