The solitary, often snow-capped Mount Fuji, rising above villages and tree-fringed sea and lakes, has inspired artists and poets, and been the object of pilgrimage for centuries. Fujisan is a solitary strato-volcano that rises to 3,776 meters in height, and the base of its southern slopes extends to the sea shores of Suruga Bay.
