Mount Fuji when the weather is nice

(1): Visiting and touring Mount Fuji In Japan, there is a popular saying that if a tourist claims they have traveled to Japan but haven't visited Mount Fuji, it's as if they have never been to Japan at all. It's similar to traveling to the capital of a country and not visiting the Forbidden City or climbing the Great Wall; it's tantamount to not having visited Beijing. The duration of this trip to Japan was six days and five nights, and among the itinerary was a stop at 'Mount Fuji,' which in Japanese Kana is written as 'ふじさん,' and its English name is Mount Fuji. It is not only the highest peak in Japan but also one of the national symbols. But that's not all; 'Mount Fuji' also has three other names: 'Fujisan,' 'Fugaku,' and 'Fuji no Takane.' After returning home and doing some research, I found out that the name 'Fuji' comes from the 'Ainu language' of Japan, which is spoken in the Hokkaido region, and it means 'immortality.' The original pronunciation comes from the language of the Ainu people, a Japanese ethnic minority, meaning 'Mountain of Fire' or 'Fire God.' 'Mount Fuji' is one of the world's largest active volcanoes, spanning Shizuoka and Yamanashi Prefectures, close to the Pacific coast, and about 80 kilometers southwest of Tokyo. It is currently dormant, but geologists still classify it as an active volcano, which could erupt at any time.
