Mount Fuji is Japan's tallest peak and is a symbol of the Japanese nation, the Japanese people as the "sacred mountain."

At 3,776 meters above sea level, Mount Fuji is the highest mountain in Japan. The top of the mountain is covered with snow for 10 months of the year. During the two summer months, the mountain slopes are still covered with snow.

There are many legends about Mount Fuji.

According to Japanese legend, Mount Fuji was formed overnight in 286 BC. At that time, the ground split open and formed what is today the largest lake in Japan, Lake Bawa, and Mount Fuji was formed from extruded clay.

The legend is not without reason, and the principle of the formation of Mount Fuji is much the same as the legend, except that it was not formed overnight, of course, and dates back at least 10,000 years. However, there is no definite answer to the question of how Mount Fuji was formed.

Around 100 km less than Fuji, people can see Mt's beautiful conical outline. Since the altitude of 2,300 meters to the Peak area, are volcanic lava, and volcanic sand covered.

Therefore, in this area, there is neither jungle nor spring, and the hiking trails are not obvious, with only winding paths in the gravel.There are vast lakes, waterfalls, jungles and extremely beautiful scenery along the area from 2,000 meters below sea level to the foot of the mountain.

Mt. Fuji is a dormant volcano, with the first recorded eruption in 800 AD and the most recent one in 1707, when a violent eruption left today's Tokyo more than 100 kilometers away in a thick layer of ash, and the vast plains surrounding Mt.

Due to the eruption of the caldera, numerous caves were formed at the foot of the mountain, which are fascinating in a variety of ways. Some of the caves are still jet. The most beautiful cave walls in the Wind Cave are covered with stalactite-like icicles that do not melt throughout the year, commonly known as "ten thousand years of snow", which is considered a rare spectacle, and there are two large and small craters on the top of the mountain. Large crater, about 800 meters in diameter and 200 meters deep.

Every year in July and August, Japanese people come here to climb the mountain.

Because Mt. Fuji is a dormant volcano that can be climbed and is open for general climbing during the two months from July to early September each year. Except for the two months when it is generally open, due to low temperatures and snow, climbing plans are required for the safety of climbers, and lodging and stores on the mountain are closed. Therefore, the 2 months that are generally open are especially precious.
