Mt Fuji is said to be truly representative of Japan. Fuji-san is recorded as the highest mountain peak of Japan, making it an iconic landmark. Also, it was declared as a World heritage by UNESCO in 2013.

Reaching a height of up to 3,776m, you would surely want to climb this peak and enjoy the sense of achievement it brings. However, it is quite a challenging climb and not for the fragile ones. Like millions of tourists who climb the peak every year, you too must enjoy viewing the sunrise; an experience you would not miss for the world!
