Mount Fuji or Fuji-san (富士山) is the highest mountain in Japan. With its 3776 it stands lonely on a plain, just 100 km from Tokyo. Mount Fuji is an active volcano that last erupted in 1707, leaving Tokyo at that time full of ashes.
Mount Fuji is also considered a Kami (God) in Shintoism and is often depicted in paintings and literature.
As it is rare to see mount Fuji very clearly it took me about 2 years of travelling to make a collection of nice views of Mount Fuji. For most Japanese people Mount Fuji is considered as shy as a lady. But when you see her, she blows your mind.
