This world-famous mountain has its home in Shizuoka Prefecture.
One of the world's most beautiful mountains, Mount Fuji,
or also known as Fuji-san or Fujiyama, serves as a symbol
not only for the prefecture, but for Japan itself. Standing
at 3,776 meters (12,388 ft.) above sea level, it offers
visitors to Japan spectacular, postcard perfect scenes at
all times of day and in all seasons. It is not surprising
that this perfectly shaped volcano has been worshipped as
a sacred mountain. In Japan, it is considered propitious,
a sign of good luck, just to catch a glimpse of this graceful
mountain. For the adventurous, they can attempt to climb
Mt. Fuji via several routes.
