When it comes to Japan, many people immediately think of cherry blossoms and Mount Fuji.
Mount Fuji is culturally and historically significant. It has a long history of religious significance to the people of Japan and has been immortalized in many famous works of art. Mount Fuji is an important symbol of Japanese culture and pride, and its beauty and grandeur are highly celebrated throughout Japan. Known as the "sacred mountain" by the Japanese people, it is a symbol of the Japanese nation and is located in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan, with an elevation of 3776 meters. It is the highest peak in Japan and one of the largest active volcanoes in the world. Many tourists visit Mount Fuji every year.
Why is Mount Fuji so famous? Firstly, it is said that Mount Fuji can predict the weather, and the legend of using the clouds on the top of Mount Fuji to predict the weather is quite famous. It is said that there is a "Li Yun" on the top of Mount Fuji, which is when a hat-like cloud appears, it is a sign of bad weather. It will rain or snow in a short period! In addition, if there are two or more layers of clouds, it means that there will be strong wind and heavy rain.
The second is the scenery of Mount Fuji. The general impression of Mount Fuji is that the green mountains are covered with snow. And Red Fuji will become a red and sacred landscape only under certain conditions.
Generally speaking, this beautiful scenery can only be seen between late summer and early autumn when there are meteorological conditions such as fresh air and high-level clouds that reflect red light.
Because Japan's geographical location is relatively special, to be illuminated by light, then its conditions are very high, so "Red Fuji" is a very rare natural phenomenon. So in Japan, if someone happens to see Red Fuji, it means he will be full of good luck throughout the year.
In addition to watching Mount Fuji, the topic of Mount Fuji is more about whether it will break out.
Why there is such a hot topic is said to be because Japan's Jiji News Agency recently sent a message that the Police Agency will buy dust masks and distribute them to police in the Tokyo Capital Circle and areas near Mount Fuji.
As a result, people worry that "the Japanese government already knows that Mount Fuji is about to erupt."
However, this news has not aroused concern in Japanese society, because the topic of "when will Mount Fuji erupt" has been going on for at least 30 years.
Japan is an earthquake-prone country, shaking every day.
The reason is that the bottom of the Japanese islands is the overlap of the Pacific plate, the Philippine plate and the Eurasian plate. A slight slide of which plate is enough to shake the Japanese islands.
Because of this, the underground of the Japanese islands is also full of strong volcanoes. Volcanoes make Japan the largest hot spring country in the world. Japan, which accounts for only 1% of the world's area, has 7% of the world's active volcanoes.
There are 110 active volcanoes in Japan, often erupting the Sakura volcano in Kagoshima Prefecture. Smoke ash can be as high as 3000 meters. So Mount Fuji is becoming more and more famous.
