Mount Fuji
Japan’s Mt. Fuji is an active volcano about 100 kilometers southwest of Tokyo.
Commonly called “Fuji-san,” it’s the country’s tallest peak, at 3,776 meters.
The last time Mount Fuji erupted, in 1707, volcanic ash fell on Tokyo.
It takes an average of 6 hours to climb up to the summit of Mt. Fuji.
A pilgrimage site for centuries, it’s considered one of Japan’s 3 sacred mountains, and summit hikes remain a popular activity.
Happy Travelling 🙂
