Japan's highest mountain

In Japan, Mount Fuji is considered a symbol of this place of mourning. Mt. Fuji is counted as one of Japan's three sacred mountains along with Mt. Tate and Mt. Haku. Please visit this special mountain once.

On June 22nd, 2013, Mt. Fuji (also known as Mt. Fuji), considered the highest mountain in Japan, was recognized as a famous scenic spot in Japan and a World Heritage Site.

The current "New Fuji" is believed to have formed about 10,000 years ago on the "Old Fuji" where the Eurasian Continental Plate, the Okhotsk Continental Plate, and the mainland of the Philippines intersect. The summit of Mt. Fuji is covered with snow all year round, and the maximum temperature in summer is only 6 to 10 degrees.

The name of Mt.Fuji is derived from "Fuji" which means "one and only" and "Fujitsu" which means eternity.

Fuji was formed by an earthquake in 286 BC. The mountain's first eruption occurred about 600,000 years ago, and the most recent one occurred in 1708. This happened when erupting lava glued two sides of the mountain together, creating a cone that tourists visit. Because it was formed, as we see it today.

Fuji's highest peak has a crater with a diameter of over 50 meters and a depth of about 250 meters. There are many other peaks around Mt. Fuji, such as Mt. Nagahidake, Mt. Izu, Mt. Joju, Mt. Komagatake, Mt. Mushishima, Mt. Kenganme, Mt. Fukusan, and Mt. Kukushi.
