Attraction Information
Mount Fuji (Fuji-san)
Closest Hotels to Mount Fuji (Fuji-san):
This 3776m (12,389ft) volcanic cone is one of the most famous volcanoes in the world and the highest peak in Japan. Of extreme historical and religious importance to the Japanese, Mount Fuji is also one of the nation’s most significant emblems. Although it has erupted 16 times since AD 781, the mountain is safe and popular for climbing, and has not erupted since 1707 when it last covered the streets of Tokyo in volcanic lava. The summit offers overnight huts, a volcanic crater and unparalleled views of Japan. Although the mountain can be climbed at any time of year, the official climbing season is July-August; outside these months, facilities – including lodging huts on the mountain – are closed. The Fuji Five Lakes located on the northern side of the mountain were created by volcanic eruptions and are fantastic sites from which to see excellent views of Mount Fuji itself.
