Mt.Fuji Got The First Snow Crown This Fall


Yesterday newspapers reported this news. In Japanese language, “snowcap on the top of a mountain” becomes “Snow Crown” and the first “Snow Crown” on Mt.Fuji in the fall is one of the regular seasonal news items. With this news Japanese can really feel the temperature is now going down towards the winter.

Since Mt.Fuji is the highest mountain and a symbol of Japan, I think the literal translation of the word “Snow Crown” would be more suitable than “Snow-Cap”.
