Soaring 3,776 meters above sea level, Mount Fuji is Japan's highest peak and an enduring cultural symbol celebrated by artists and pilgrims for centuries. Straddling the border of Shizuoka and Yamanashi prefectures, its snow-capped, nearly symmetrical cone can even be glimpsed from Tokyo on clear days. Whether you embark on an adventurous sunrise ascent during the summer climbing season or admire its majesty from surrounding scenic viewpoints, experiencing Fujisan is a quintessential Japanese journey.
