Mount Fuji ...Mount Fuji is the largest mountain in Japan and is located on Honshu Island. It stands 3, 776.24 m (12, 389 ft) high and is located near ...the Pacific coast of central Honshu, just west of Tokyo. It straddles the boundary of Shizuoka and Yamanashi prefectures. Three small cities surround it, Gotemba to the east, Fujiyoshida to the north, and Fujinomiya to the southwest. It's also surrounded by five lakes, Lake Kawaguchi, Lake Yamanaka, Lake Sai, Lake Motosu and Lake Shoji. The mountain is part of the Fuji- Hakone- Izu National Park. Mount Fuji's exceptionally symmetrical cone, which is snow-capped several months a year, is a well-known symbol of Japan and it is frequently depicted in art and photographs. Mount Fuji is also one of Japan's "Three Holy Mountains" along with Mount Tate and Mount Haku. It's also a special place of scenic beauty and one of Japan's Historic Sites.
