And today we make our way to Fuji-san, or Mount Fuji, which is regarded as an enduring and a much loved symbol of Japan...
We are on the shore of Lake Kawaguchi, in the Yamanashi Prefecture...
Mount Fuji is nearly 19 kilometres away on a straight line, but by road the distance is nearly 60 kilometres...
We are blessed with an exceptionally clear morning, which they say is quite unusual here...
And the scenery is incredibly beautiful...
And the nip in the air heightens the sensory experience...
At 3776 metres, Mount Fuji is Japan's highest mountain. Its exceptionally symmetrical cone is snow-capped for about 5 months a year. The mountain has quite a lot of significance in Shinto mythology and is a well-known symbol of Japan and it is frequently depicted in traditional art...
The peace and tranquility of Mount Fuji has to be experienced...
