| Mount Fuji |
Mount Fuji is located in Honshu and is 3 776 m tall.
The mountain is still active and is known as one of the
"Three Holy Mountains" in Japan. This popular tourist attraction
is known for its almost perfect cone shape and makes a great background
for pictures. It is the most beautiful during the cherry blossom season,
as the contrasting colours of the mountain in the background and pink petals
is splendid. This is a worthy attraction for all tourists.
