Mount Fuji (富士山, Fuji-san) is the highest mountain in Japan. Mount Fuji is 3776 meters high. It stands on the border between Shizuoka and Yamanashi. This mountain is an active volcano, which most recently erupted in 1708.

Mt. Fuji is very beautiful. In early autumn, it begins to snow on Mt. Fuji. Snow accumulates fully in winter. Mt. Fuji at the new year is very beautiful. The best views can be seen from Hakone or Gotemba. On a sunny day, it can be seen from Tokyo.

Many people climb Mt. Fuji every year. July and August is the official climbing season. There are three mountain-climbing routes on the Shizuoka side of Mt. Fuji.
