Japanese natural art , Mount Fuji


When we discuss about Japan tourism, we will refer to one mountain, Mount Fuji. This mountain is sacred for Japanese people. A beautiful proportioned cone in astonishing nature. The height is about 3776-meter above the sea level.In the peak, the climate is very cold due to the altitude and it is covered by snow all the year. Snow-capped Mount Fuji is the tallest and most famous mountain in Japan. It last erupted in 1707 and is now dormant. The almost perfectly symmetrical cone shapes make it one of the most beautiful mountain in the world, and an undeniable symbol of Japan. We can find this mountain in many picture and art depicting Japan. More than 200,000 people climb to the top of  Mount.Fuji in a year, and 30% of them is foreigner.
