What do Japanese usually call Mount Fuji?

Mount Fuji is the highest peak in Japan and a symbol of the Japanese nation. It is praised as a "holy mountain" by the Japanese people. Mount Fuji is located in south-central Honshu, about 80 kilometers east of Tokyo, with an area of 90.76 square kilometers and an altitude of 3,776 meters. The peaks are towering into the clouds, and the peaks are covered with snow. The mountain is conical, like an upside-down fan. Japanese poets once praised the poem "Jade fan hanging upside down in the East China Sea" and "Fuji Snow Reflects Sunrise". Within the range of 100 km around Mount Fuji, people can see the beautiful conical outline of Mount Fuji. From an altitude of 2300 meters to the top of the mountain, it is covered by volcanic lava and volcanic sand. So in this area, there are neither jungles nor springs, and the hiking route is not obvious. There are only winding paths in the gravel. There are vast lakes, waterfalls and jungles from below 2000 meters above sea level to the foot of the mountain, and the scenery is extremely beautiful.

Since it was recorded in writing in 78 1 year, Mount Fuji * * * has erupted 18 times, and the last time was 1707 times, thus becoming a dormant volcano. Due to the eruption of the crater, countless caves have been formed in the foothills, which are very charming and varied. Some caves still have air jets, while others are as cold as ice. The wall of the most beautiful Fuyuefeng Cave is covered with stalactite-like icicles, which do not melt all the year round. Commonly known as "Millennium Snow", it is regarded as a rare spectacle. There are two craters on the top of the mountain. The crater is about 800 meters in diameter and 200 meters deep. When the weather is fine, you can see the sunrise, the sea of clouds, the shadow Fuji and other natural scenery from the top of the mountain. Located on the top of the mountain, the Temple of Nine Continues and the Temple of Asami are also places frequented by tourists.

In Mount Fuji, cherry blossoms are in full bloom in spring, the mountain breeze is blowing gently in summer, the mountains are covered with red leaves in autumn, and it is snowy in winter. There are more than 2000 kinds of plants around the mountain, which is a natural botanical garden. Every July and August, the Japanese will compete to climb mountains here.

There are five Fuji lakes at the northern foot of Mount Fuji. From east to west, there are mountain lakes, estuary lakes, West Lake, Jinjing Lake and Qimu Lake. Mountains and lakes are the largest, with an area of 6.75 square kilometers. There are eight ponds in Rennomura, southeast of the lake, such as the channel and mirror pool, which are collectively called "Enduring the Wild Eight Seas" and are connected with mountains and lakes. There are scenic spots such as Hongyetai, Jyukai, Ice Cave, Zu, Tianshan Mountain on the bank of the West Lake. Hekou Lake has the most convenient transportation, and there are islands in the lake, which is the only lake with islands in the five lakes. The reflection of Mount Fuji reflected in the lake has become one of the wonders of Mount Fuji.
