Emperor Heizei
Historical records, however, only exist as far as the early ninth century. During the reign of Emperor Heizei, Sakanoue no Tamuramaro was ordered to rebuild the Honden of the shrine in its current location. The Heian period "Engishiki" records list the shrine as the "ichinomiya" of Suruga Province. Pilgrimages to Mount Fuji became common in the ninth century, although women were forbidden from climbing.
