Fuji-san,
symbol and highest mountain (3,776 m) of Japan, is part of the "Fuji-Hakone-Izu
National Park" and located on the border of Shizuo- ka and Yamanashi
prefectures in central Honshû. Dormant since 1707, it is still
classified by geologists as an active volcano. Its summit is a crater
with a diameter of about 600-800 m and a depth of about 150m. In the
north of Fuji-san are the so called "Five Fuji Lakes" (fuji-go-ko): Lake Yamanaka,
Kawaguchi, Sai, Shôji and Motosu.
