Last year, new safety goods were equipped at the mountain huts and the evacuation map for Mt.Fuji was being made for the first time ever. It might sound strange since it is one of the most famous volcanoes in Japan, but the last eruption of Fuji was in 1707. Mt. Fuji has been dormant for more than 300 years, so Japanese people almost forgot the fact that it is a non-dead volcano and hadn’t really thought of the eruption. However people started to think about the possibility in these years since some volcanoes has become active recently and a couple of them erupted all of sudden.
The photos are the chronological change of Mt.Fuji between April to July, taken from the west side of Tokyo. It looks very beautiful from far distance, but when you go close to climb the mountain you will see the upper place of it is covered by volcanic sand and rocks and has no plants. After all it is really a volcano.
There are more photos of Mt.Fuji on the "Mt.Fuji" page of this website!
