In the game
The snow-capped cone that rises over the game's map and its key art, visible across the grasslands and from the coast.
The real place
At 3,776 metres, Fuji is the highest mountain in Japan and an almost perfectly symmetrical volcano. It became a UNESCO World Heritage cultural site in 2013 as a sacred place and a source of artistic inspiration.
Visiting
The summer climbing season runs from about early July to early September; check the official climbing site for trail fees and bookings. For views without the climb, go to Lake Kawaguchiko or the Chureito Pagoda in Fujiyoshida on a clear winter morning.
