Mount Fuji is Japan’s most iconic natural landmark and the highest mountain in the country (3,776 meters). It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a sacred symbol in Japanese culture. The nearly perfect cone-shaped volcano is popular for climbing, especially in summer, and is often admired from a distance, especially from spots like Lake Kawaguchi or the Chureito Pagoda. In winter, its snow-capped peak creates a breathtaking scene often featured in art and photography.
