At 3776m, Mount Fuji (富士山, Fujisan) is Japan’s highest mountain.
Mount Fuji is an active volcano, which most recently erupted in 1708.
If you don’t want to visit (or climb) the mountain, an easy way to view Mount Fuji is from the train on a trip between Tokyo and Osaka. If you take the shinkansen from Tokyo in direction of Nagoya, Kyoto and Osaka, the best view of the mountain can be enjoyed from around Shin-Fuji Station on the right hand side of the train, about 40-45 minutes into the journey!
.
If you feel a bit more energetic, Mount Fuji is officially open for climbing for July and August.
.
Mount Fuji is also one of Japan’s “Three Holy Mountains” (三霊山 Sanreizan) along with Mount Tate and Mount Haku. It was added to the World Heritage List as a Cultural Site on June 22, 2013.
