P93 - Japan - Mount Fuji


Mount Fuji, Japan




Mount Fuji is the highest mountain in Japan at 3,776 m (12,388 ft). Along with Mount Tate and Mount Haku, it is one of Japan's "Three Holy Mountains" (三霊山 Sanreizan). An active volcano that last erupted in 1707–08, Mount Fuji straddles the boundary of Shizuoka and Yamanashi prefectures just west of Tokyo, from which it can be seen on a clear day. It is located near the Pacific coast of central Honshū. Three small cities surround it: Gotemba (south), Fujiyoshida (north) and Fujinomiya (southwest).

Mount Fuji's exceptionally symmetrical cone is a well-known symbol of Japan and it is frequently depicted in art and photographs, as well as visited by sightseers and climbers.


富士山是日本一座橫跨靜岡縣和山梨縣的睡火山,位於東京西南方約80公里處,主峰海拔3776公尺,2002年8月(平成14年),經日本國土地理院重新測量後,為3775.63公尺,是日本國內的最高峰。 富士山頂於冬季積雪,直至隔年六、七月才會溶化,在管理上屬於本州地區的富士箱根伊豆國立公園範圍內,不但是名列日本百名山之一,同時也是日本三名山之一。聞名全球的富士山是日本重要的象徵之一,其在古代文獻中亦被稱為不二、不盡或是富慈,也經常被稱作芙蓉峰或富岳。自古以來,這座山的名字就經常在日本的傳統詩歌「和歌」中出現。

在富士山山麓周圍,分佈著5個淡水湖,統稱富士五湖,是日本著名的觀光度假名勝地。富士山有4個主要的登山口,分別為富士宮口、須走口、御殿場口、富士吉田(河口湖)口等,其中前三個登山入口都在靜岡縣內。

由於富士山本身的魅力和在日本的地位,人們一直以來希望將其申報為世界自然遺產。但是由於大量的觀光遊客和登山家以及不良商販所丟棄的垃圾,構成了富士山壯麗外觀下陰暗的一面。甚至在全球的登山家之間還流傳著「不要像對待富士山一樣對待珠穆朗瑪峰」這樣的傳言。也因為此,至今富士山進入世界遺產的努力尚未成功。於是,有關方面正努力將富士山登錄為入選標準較為寬鬆的世界文化遺產。
