Mount Fuji, or Fujisan, is Japan's tallest mountain, standing at 3,776 metres (12,389 feet). Located on the island of Honshu, it is an active stratovolcano, though its last eruption occurred in 1707. Revered as a symbol of Japan, Mount Fuji has significant cultural, spiritual, and artistic importance. It is often depicted in traditional Japanese art and is a popular pilgrimage site for climbers and tourists alike. The mountain’s nearly symmetrical cone is particularly striking and can be seen from Tokyo on clear days. Mount Fuji is also part of the UNESCO World Heritage List for its cultural significance.
