Mount Fuji (Fujisan) is with 3776 meters Japan's highest mountain. It is
not surprising that the nearly perfectly shaped volcano has been worshipped as
a sacred mountain and experienced big popularity among artists and common
people. Mount Fuji is a dormant volcano, which most recently erupted in 1708.
It stands on the border between Yamanashi and Shizuoka Prefectures and can be
seen from Tokyo and Yokohama on clear days. Note however, that clouds and poor
visibility often block the view of Mount Fuji, and you have to consider
yourself lucky if you get a clear view of the mountain. Visibility tends to be
better during the colder seasons of the year than in summer, and in the early
morning and late evening hours. Drive along the expressway to Mt. Fuji -
