Mount Fuji, Japanese Fuji-san likewise inscribed Fujian, also named Fujiyama or Fuji No Yum, which is the highest mountain in Japan. It touched 12,388 feet (3,776 meters) close to the Pacific Ocean coast in Yamanashi Shizuka Ken (prefecture) of central Honshu, about 60 miles (100 km) west of the Tokyo-Yokohama Metropolitan area. It is a volcano which has been inactive after its last explosion in 1707, but is still active actively by geologues. The mountain is a major feature of Fuji-Hakon-IZu National Park (1936), and it is in the center of UNESCO World Heritage Site, designated in 2013

The origin of the mountain name is uncertain. It appears for the first time in the Hitachi no Kuni Foodoki (713 CE) as an early official record in the form of Fuji no Yum. One of the many theories about the source of the name is that it is taken as "fire" with the meaning of "fire", which means the Japanese word for "mountain". Chinese ideologies (Kanji) used to write more information about Fuji, a good fortune or sense of well-being.

Mount Fuji, with its beautiful cone form, has become famous all over the world and it is considered to be the sacred symbol of Japan. Japanese have a sense of personal identity with the mountain, and in every summer thousands of Japanese climbs to the temple at its peak. According to tradition, the volcano was made of earthquake in 286 BC. The truth is something else complicated. Fuji's age is disputed, but it seems that during the last 2.6 million years, 65 million years ago was built on the basis of; The first explosion and the first peak probably happened 600,000 years ago. Today's mountain is a combination of three consecutive volcanoes: Below is the Comitake, which was extended by Fuji ("Old Fuji") and finally, most recently Shin Fuji ("New Fuji"). From the millennium, lava and other exits from Cau Fuji covered most of the comitech, although the top of the later cone slipped out of the slope of Fuji. Shin Fuji might have been active 10,000 years ago and have been continuing since sometimes smokers or explosions. In this process, it has been filled in the slopes of its two predecessors and has added the summit area, which produces almost complete thin form of the mountain. Mount Fuji is part of the volcanic zone, which is a volcanic chain that extends from the Mariana Islands and Izu Islands in the north through the Izhu Peninsula through northern Honshu.
