Kengamine Peak, Summit peak at Mount Fuji, Japan

Kengamine Peak rises 3,776 meters above sea level, marking the highest point of Mount Fuji with steep slopes and volcanic rock formations.

The peak witnessed the last volcanic eruption of Mount Fuji between 1707 and 1708, where ash covered the surrounding regions for several weeks.

The summit houses the Kusushi Shrine, where mountain priests conduct religious ceremonies and visitors leave offerings during the climbing season.

Climbers access the peak through four main trails equipped with mountain huts, with the climbing season running from July 1st to August 31st.

The former weather station near the summit provided radar images for Japanese television weather reports until its removal in 1999.
