- 日本人心目中的名峰，富士山位於東京南西約 100 km 處，是一座標高 3,776 m の成層火山，其威厳の山容和断続的噴火帶給宗教的霊感，自古以來人們就將這座山作為死亡和重生的象徵來崇拜。據信山頂居住浅間大神，山腳下浅間神社和御師家的形成。此外，自 14 世紀以來，富士山的美麗外觀以各種形式呈現，19 世紀前半葛飾北斎の『富嶽三十六景』使富士山聞名於世，對西洋絵画の発展有重大的影響 The beauty of the solitary, often snow-capped, stratovolcano, known around the world as Mount Fuji, rising above villages and tree-fringed sea and lakes has long been the object of pilgrimages and inspired artists and poets. The inscribed property consists of 25 sites which reflect the essence of Fujisan’s sacred and artistic landscape. In the 12th century, Fujisan became the centre of training for ascetic Buddhism, which included Shinto elements. On the upper 1,500-metre tier of the 3,776 m mountain, pilgrim routes and crater shrines have been inscribed alongside sites around the base of the mountain including Sengen-jinja shrines, Oshi lodging houses, and natural volcanic features such as lava tree moulds, lakes, springs and waterfalls, which are revered as sacred. Its representation in Japanese art goes back to the 11th century, but 19th century woodblock prints of views, including those from sand beaches with pine tree groves have made Fujisan an internationally recognized icon of Japan and have had a deep impact on the development of Western art.
- 富士山頂冬季積雪，直至次年 6、7 月才會融化，在管理上屬於本州地區的富士箱根伊豆國立公園範圍內。在富士山山麓周圍，分布著 5 個淡水湖，統稱富士五湖，是日本著名的觀光度假名勝地。富士山有 4 個主要的登山口，分別為富士宮口、須走口、御殿場口、富士吉田 (河口湖) 口等，其中前三個登山入口都在靜岡縣內。富士山不但名列日本百名山，同時也是日本三名山之一，在古代文獻中亦被稱為不二、不盡或是富慈，也經常被稱作芙蓉峰、富嶽或富岳。自古以來，這座山的名字就經常在日本的傳統詩歌「和歌」中出現。富士山與櫻花、新幹線並列為日本的國家象徵。富士山於 2013 年 6 月 22 日正式獲選列入世界文化遺產，是日本的第 17 個世界遺產(第 13 個世界文化遺產) There are four major routes to the summit, each has numbered stations along the way. They are (clockwise, starting North): Kawaguchiko, Subashiri, Gotemba, and Fujinomiya routes. A text of the 9th century, Tale of the Bamboo Cutter, says that the name came from “immortal” (不死, fushi, fuji) and also from the image of abundant (富, fu) soldiers (士, shi, ji)[9] ascending the slopes of the mountain.[10] An early folk etymology claims that Fuji came from 不二 (not + two), meaning without equal or nonpareil. Another claims that it came from 不盡 (not + to exhaust), meaning never-ending. Mount Fuji is one of Japan’s “Three Holy Mountains” (三霊山, Sanreizan) along with Mount Tate and Mount Haku. It is a Special Place of Scenic Beauty and one of Japan’s Historic Sites. It was added to the World Heritage List as a Cultural Site on June 22, 2013. 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. These 25 locations include the mountain and the Shinto shrine, Fujisan Hongū Sengen Taisha.
