Mount Fuji, the highest mountain in Japan.
This active volcano, located between Yamanashi-ken and Shizuoka-ken, is loved by many people as a mountain that symbolizes Japan.
It has been selected as one of Japan's Three Famous Mountains and one of Japan 100 Famous Mountains, and is a popular spot that is always crowded with climbers of all ages and genders every year (season: Jul. to Aug.).
There are four mountain trails (Fujinomiya Route, Subashiri Route, Gotemba Route, and Yoshida Route), and as there are well-maintained roads and mountain trails up to Gogo, many people visit by bus or car. On a clear day, it is a popular tourist spot with a panoramic view of Yamanakako, Fujiyoshida-shi, and Lake Kawaguchi below.

Fujiyama took on its current shape approximately 10,000 years ago.
The first eruption began at the current location hundreds of thousand years ago, and the volcanic ash and lava that accumulated through repeated eruptions gradually formed a mountain, which grew to an altitude of over 3,000 meters.
Furthermore, a large-scale eruption occurred about 11,000 years ago, resulting in the outflow of a large amount of lava. After it cooled and solidified, it was exposed to wind and rain, causing the center to collapse, resulting in the current shape of a cone with the top cut off!

Of course, climbing Mount Fuji is popular, but you can't miss the popular spots in Yamanashi and Shizuoka prefectures.

At the base of Mount Fuji there are numerous lava caves that testify to the immense power of Mount Fuji's eruptions.
Among these, the Aokigahara Jukai forest presents a unique appearance as a forest formed on the lava flows of Mount Fuji, and is a natural environment that we can be proud of around the world, where we can encounter a wide variety of flora and fauna.
Spreading over an area of about 30 square kilometers at the northwest foot of Mt. Fuji, it was once a lake, but in 864, a major eruption of Mt. Fuji covered the lake surface with lava and volcanic ash. Over the next 1,200 years, a primeval forest formed, forming the Aokigahara Jukai forest we see today.
It has now been developed into a tourist spot, with walking trails and other facilities.

Fuji Five Lakes, which are scattered at the foot of Mt. Fuji, are introduced as lakes Yamanaka, Motosu, Sai, Shoji, and Kawaguchi, which were formed by lava from the repeated eruptions of Mt.

The phantom lakes are usually dried up, but when a large amount of rain falls around the Fuji Five Lakes (Lake Yamanaka, Lake Kawaguchi, Lake Nishiko, Lake Shojin, and Lake Motosuko) it is said to appear east of Lake Shojin, Akaike It is.
It is called a phantom lake because it is rarely seen without the condition of after heavy rain.
In the past, it appeared in 1998 and 2004, but recently in 2011, it made its first appearance in seven years.
