Review & FAQ:
Standing 3,776 meters above sea level, Mount Fuji is the highest mountain in Japan. Thanks to its almost perfectly conical shape, the peak is one of the country's most recognizable symbols and has been worshiped as a sacred mountain for centuries. The mountain is located only 100 kilometers away from Tokyo and can be seen from the city when the sky is clear; visibility is typically best during the early mornings and late evenings. Anyone who would like to get closer to the mountain can visit the Fuji Five Lake region or the nearby hot spring resort of Hakone.
