Introduction to Mount Fuji

Overview

In the southwest of Tokyo, Japan’s highest peak (3,776 m) is the country’s most famous mountain and one of its symbols. A sacred UNESCO-listed site, its summer ascent (fairly easy) has become a "classic" for pilgrims and tourists. The area is part of the Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park.
