Japan’s tallest mountain -- which, although dormant since 1707, remains
classified as an active volcano -- finally joined UNESCO’s prestigious
World Heritage List in 2013 after decades mysteriously absent. Home to
five major lakes, Shiraito Falls and eight Shinto shrines, adoration of
this towering icon appears in the some of Japan’s earliest recorded
literature when Fuji-san, as it is known locally, was said to puff
clouds of smoke across Honshu. Today, it is one of Japan’s most visited
attractions, with hundreds of thousands of tourists enduring the
grueling climb to the top each year for a moment of peace and quiet as
they look back out over Japan’s most populous island.Japan’s tallest mountain -- which, although dormant since 1707, remains
