Mount Fuji

Mount Fuji is an iconic volcano that has been deeply embedded in Japanese culture and spirituality for centuries. It's revered as a sacred place in both Shinto and Buddhist traditions.

* **Shinto:** In Shinto, the indigenous religion of Japan, mountains are seen as dwellings of kami, spirits or deities. Mount Fuji is believed to be home to the goddess Konohanasakuya-hime, the goddess of volcanoes and flowers. Climbing Mount Fuji is considered a pilgrimage for many Shinto followers.
