Kengamine Peak, Summit peak at Mount Fuji, Japan
Kengamine Peak is the highest point of Mount Fuji, rising about 3,776 meters (12,388 feet) above sea level. The summit is marked by steep slopes and volcanic rock formations that create a rugged, exposed landscape.
The mountain experienced its final eruption between 1707 and 1708, when ash covered the surrounding regions for weeks. This eruption ended the peak's volcanic activity and shaped the distinctive form visitors encounter today.
The Kusushi Shrine sits at the summit where mountain priests conduct ceremonies and visitors make offerings. This place holds deep meaning for people who view the climb as a spiritual journey rather than just physical challenge.
Visitors can reach the peak through four main trails, each equipped with mountain huts along the route. The climbing season runs from early July through the end of August, offering the most stable conditions for the journey.
A former weather station near the summit once provided radar images for Japanese television weather reports until its removal in 1999. This installation shows how the peak became integrated into modern technology systems during the 20th century.
