Standing 3,776 meters (12,388 feet) high, Mt Fuji is the largest mountain in Japan. It is a dormant volcano that last erupted in 1707-1708. Long worshiped as sacred, Mt Fuji is one of Japan’s “Three Holy Mountains.” Its almost perfectly symmetrical shape attracts artists and photographers. Mt Fuji is a popular destination for climbers and hikers during the summer months. It is estimated that each year 200,000 people climb it. Many visit Mt Fuji because they simply want to experience the natural beauty of the area. There are many scenic spots from which to view the mountains of the region, including one reached by an aerial lift. Lava caves formed during past volcanic eruptions, shrines dedicated to the Shinto deity of Mt Fuji, and a reconstructed thatched roof village are some of the local attractions you may want to visit while in the area.
With its unobstructed views, Kawaguchiko is a popular location to photograph Mt Fuji. Lake Kawaguchiko is within Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park and is part of the Fuji Five Lakes system. Kawaguchiko Mt Tenjo Ropeway is an aerial lift that extends from Lake Kawaguchiko to the observatory on Mt Kachi Kachi. From here visitors can view the Aokigahara forest and Mt Fuji.
