Mount Fuji

Mount Fuji rises to an elevation of 3,776 meters, forming a symmetrical cone shape with snow-covered peak visible from Tokyo on clear days.

The last volcanic eruption occurred between 1707 and 1708, when ash deposits reached the area now known as metropolitan Tokyo.

Mount Fuji appears in numerous Japanese woodblock prints from the Edo period, particularly in the works of artists Katsuhika Hokusai and Utagawa Hiroshige.

The climbing season operates from early July through early September, with four main trails leading to the summit from different fifth stations.

The Aokigahara forest at the base contains numerous caves formed by volcanic activity, creating an underground network of geological formations.
