Mount Fuji

Mount Fuji is exactly located at the center of the long and narrow Japanese territory.

It is located at 3776m above the sea level, and is the highest peak in Japan. 


The graceful appearance is widely known not only in Japan but also outside the country as the symbol of Japan. 




It is widely used in the motif and commercial design etc. of all the arts like the painting, craft, photograph, and design etc.



Painting of Mt. Fuji started during the Heian period (AD 794- AD1185).
The Ukiyoe (color print of everyday life in the Edo period) drawn by Katsushika Hokusai during the Edo period is especially famous. 

It is popular sightseeing spot for the foreign tourists.
Mt. Fuji is overwhelmingly a popular sightseeing spot for the Chinese.


Based on the condition of the atmosphere, it cannot be seen even if it is sunny, and can be seen even if it is cloudy. The weather of Mt. Fuji is whimsy.


In case you are going for the sightseeing of Mt. Fuji, it is better to keep one day as reserve. 


Mt. Fuji has a different face on each of the four seasons (Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter). 



A lot of people are fascinated by the Mt. Fuji that shows a completely different appearance based on the place where it is seen, and based on the time and season when it is seen.
