Climbing Mount Fuji
Myth and History
Catch Fujisan’s Sunrise with a Certified Mountain Guide
Japanese proverb…
“A wise man climbs Fuji once. Only a fool climbs it twice.”
Free of snow and almost summer starts the season for climbing Mount Fuji (富士山), the highest peak in Japan (3.776m).
Since ancient times, Japanese have revered this sacred mountain. Poets have celebrated it and generations of artists have painted its distinctive conical shape.
Pilgrims carrying a long staff, have set off from the compounds of the Sengenjinja shrines at its foot to climb the mountain, and reach the crater at its summit where it was believed that the Shinto deity, Asama no Okami resided.
