What Mount Fuji are there in Japan?

There is only one Mount Fuji in Japan, which is the highest mountain in Japan. It is located in the south-central part of Honshu Island, across Shizuoka Prefecture and Yamanashi Prefecture, about 80 kilometers east of Tokyo. It is part of Izu Park in Hakone-CHO, Fuji. Mount Fuji is 3776 meters above sea level, and its bottom circumference is 125 kilometers. The mountain is conical, and the top of it is covered with snow all year round.

Mount Fuji is the largest active volcano in the world. Since the active volcano erupts regularly, there is no danger in climbing.

Every year, many people climb Mount Fuji. It's said that it's summer at the foot of the mountain and snowy winter scenery at the top of the mountain.

The following is a detailed introduction

The highest mountain in Japan, 3,776 meters (65,438+02,388 feet) above sea level, is located in central Honshu Island, Yamanashi Prefecture and Shizuoka Prefecture, near the Pacific coast, about 65,438+000 kilometers (60 miles) southwest of Tokyo. It is a volcano, which has been dormant since the last eruption of 1707, but geologists still list it as an active volcano and so on. The name Fuji comes from the Shai language, which means "eternal life". This mountain is a beautiful cone, which is world-famous and a sacred symbol of Japan. Because of the consciousness of unity among the mountain people, thousands of Japanese people go to the mountain shrine to worship every summer. This mountain is also the main attraction of Izu National Park in Hakone-CHO, Fuji.

Legend has it that Mount Fuji volcano was produced by an earthquake in 286 BC, and the actual situation is more complicated. There are different opinions on the geological age of Mount Fuji, which seems to be a Quaternary construction based on tertiary strata. The earliest eruption and formation of the first mountain peak may have occurred 600,000 years ago. Although Mount Fuji looks like a single cone volcano, it is actually three independent volcanoes: Xiaoyuyue, Kufuji and New Mount Fuji. The youngest Mount Fuji erupted for the first time about 10000 years ago, and then it continued to smoke or occasionally erupted. For thousands of years, the lava of the New Fuji and other overflowing rocks covered two ancient volcanic peaks, expanding the hillside to the present scope and making the mountain form the present cone.

The circumference of the foot of Fuji Mountain is about 125km (78 miles), and with the wide lava flow at the foot of the mountain, the diameter at the bottom is about 40? 50 kilometers (25? 30 miles). The crater surface on the top of the mountain is about 500 meters (1 600 feet) in diameter and 250 meters (820 feet) in depth. There are "Fuji Eight Peaks" around the jagged edge of the crater, namely Jianfeng, Baishan, Jiusu Zhiyue, Dariyue, Yidou Yuet, Chengjiayue, Juyue and Sanyue. Mount Fuji belongs to the Fuji volcanic belt, which is a volcanic chain from Mariana Islands to northern Honshu via Izu Islands and Izu Peninsula.
