Things You Didn't Know About Mount Fuji

Did you know that Mount Fuji is only 8,000 years old? Mount Fuji, the tallest and most famous mountain in Japan, is only 8,000 years old. It is a beautiful site to see and is located 60 miles away from Tokyo, the capital of Japan.

Mount Fuji sits on the rim of the Pacific Ocean, a region named “The Ring of Fire.” This area is home to many volcanoes and earthquakes. Since the mountain is so isolated from the city, its peak can be seen well from most parts of Tokyo.

Mount Fuji is one famous example of the common volcanic activity in the area, which can be seen from the many dead lava fields and hot springs near the mountain. Mount Fuji is symmetrical, and also has a central crater that is hidden by the eroded summit. The tip of the mountain is typically covered with snow. During spring time, the view of Mount Fuji from the city is framed by the blossoming cherry trees.

Mount Fuji has a very interesting history and has amazing natural beauty. Some people in Japan even view Mount Fuji as a sacred place that is the home to higher beings.
