For Today’s Japan photo series, we will be taking a look at Japan’s most famous landmark – Mount Fuji [富士山].

The photo is taken off Mainichi JP, the bright red flowers in the foreground really complement to the majestic Mount Fuji in the background. And the weather is really great that we can clearly see the entire Mount Fuji. The location of the shot is Hananomiyako Park in the Yamanashi Prefecture village of Yamanakako.

A little more information on Mount Fuji [富士山]:

Mount Fuji [富士山] is the highest mountain in Japan at 3,776 m. Along with Mount Tate and Mount Haku, it is one of Japan’s “Three Holy Mountains” [三霊山].

Mount Fuji is just west of Tokyo, and can be seen on a clear day. Mount Fuji’s exceptionally symmetrical cone is a well-known symbol of Japan and it is frequently depicted in art and photographs, as well as visited by sightseers and climbers.

A well-known Japanese saying suggests that anybody would be a fool not to climb Mount Fuji once—but a fool to do so twice.
