Mount Fuji
Japan's iconic sacred peak/Mountains
Mount Fuji is an active stratovolcano and the highest peak in Japan. Its near-perfect conical symmetry has made it one of the most recognizable mountains on Earth, inspiring centuries of art, poetry, and pilgrimages. It last erupted in 1707 and blanketed Tokyo -- then called Edo -- in ash.
