Mount Fuji: is the highest
mountain in Japan located on Honshu Island at 3,776.24 m (12,389 ft). An
active stratovolcano that last erupted in 1707–08, Mount Fuji lies
about 100 kilometres (62 mi) south-west of Tokyo, and can be seen from
there on a clear day. Mount Fuji's exceptionally symmetrical cone, which
is snow-capped several months a year, is a well-known symbol of Japan
and it is frequently depicted in art and photographs, as well as visited
by sightseers and climbers. It is one of Japan's "Three Holy Mountains"
along with Mount Tate and Mount Haku; it is a Special Place of Scenic
Beauty, an Historic Site.
