Mount Fuji is located in the southern part of Honshu, near Suruga Bay. The mountain has an elevation of 3776.12 meters and is a typical stratovolcano.


A stratovolcano is a conical volcano formed by the continuous accumulation of magma and volcanic debris after several eruptions of almost the same crater. Thus, Mount Fuji was not what we see now from the beginning.


Mount Fuji is a volcano formed from three stages of small Miyake, ancient Fuji, and new Fuji after continuous volcanic eruptions and gradual accumulation of lava from 700,000 years ago.


The last time Mount Fuji erupted was in 1707. The eruption lasted for two weeks and was accompanied by a strong earthquake. After the eruption, the volcanic ash drifted all the way to Edo Castle. Scientific investigations suggest that the current Mount Fuji is still a young active volcano, and its current form is only temporary.


The ridge of Mount Fuji is symmetrical on both sides, resembling an equilateral triangle from a distance. The mountain's shape looks serene and harmonious, and the white snow on the top of the mountain fully reflects its beauty.


As the highest peak in Japan and an active volcano straddling Shizuoka and Yamanashi prefectures, Mount Fuji is known as the "holy mountain" by the Japanese people and is a symbol of the Japanese nation.
