Mt. Fuji is the highest mountain in Japan at 12,000 feet tall, spanning both Shizuoka and Yamanashi Prefectures.
Since long ago it has been an object of worship under the name “Reihou Fuji.”
In 2013 it was registered as a World Heritage Site, and it has become a famous mountain visited by more than 200,00 tourists, both Japanese and international, every year.
Mt. Fuji is still an active volcano, but the last time it erupted was about 300 years ago (1707 AD) during the Edo period.
This video introduces the beautiful scenery of Mt. Fuji through a 4K time-lapse.
The highlights are the flowing, starry sky, the cityscape spreading into the hills, and the reflection of Mt. Fuji on the surface of a nearby lake.
Enjoy the charm of the power spot, Mt. Fuji.
Mt. Fuji: A World Heritage Site
Mt. Fuji is a mountain that spans Shizuoka Prefecture (in Fujinomiya CIty, Susono City, Fuji City, Gotemba City, Koyama-town Sunto-gun) and Yamanashi Prefecuture (in Fujiyoshida City and Narusawa-mura Minamitsuru-gun).
It is a world-famous mountain that has been selected as one of Japan's "Three Great Mountains," "Japan's Top 100 Geological Sites," and as a World Heritage Site.
In the past, Mt. Fuji was feared for its large eruptions and lava spills, and it was considered a mysterious mountain and an object of worship.
It is said that when Mt. Fuji's eruptions subsided, trainees began to step into the mountain to gain the divine and spiritual power of Mt. Fuji.
Nowadays, the Fujinomiya peak side of Mt. Fuji is home to Sengen Taisha Okumiya who worships Asama no Ookami (浅間大神), also called Konohanasakuyabime, as the main deity.
Also, the summit of the Yoshida and Kawaguchi Lake (河口湖, Kawaguchiko) side is home to Kukushi Shrine.
The beautiful figure of Mt. Fuji, said to be the symbol of Japan, has been drawn in various art works, such as the famous “Gaifu Kaisei,” drawn by the Japanese ukiyo-e artist Katsushika Hokusai.
