Mount Fuji is the highest volcano in Japan at 3,776.24 m 12,389 ft, 2nd-highest volcano of an island in Asia after Mount Kerinci in Sumatra, and 7th-highest peak of an island in the world.[1] It is an active stratovolcano that last erupted in 1707–1708.[4][5] Mount Fuji lies about 100 kilometers 60 mi south-west of Tokyo, and can be seen from there on a clear day. Mount Fuji`s exceptionally symmetrical cone, which is snow-capped for about 5 months a year, is commonly used as a symbol of Japan and it is frequently depicted in art and photographs, as well as visited by sightseers and climbers. It was added to the World Heritage List as a Cultural Site on June 22, 2013.[7] According to UNESCO, Mount Fuji has `inspired artists and poets and been the object of pilgrimage for centuries`. UNESCO recognizes 25 sites of cultural interest within the Mount Fuji locality.
