I think Japan is a very very different from the other countries because it is a such a beautiful country with a such beautiful culture.

 CERRY BLOSOM AKA SAKURA.

The cherry blossom (桜, sakura) is Japan's unofficial national flower. It has been celebrated for many centuries and holds a prominent position in Japanese culture. There are dozens of cherry tree varieties in Japan, most of which bloom for just a few days in spring. The seasonal spectacle is celebrated with hanami (cherry blossom viewing) parties under the trees.

      MOUNT FUJI

                                                                                

Japan’s Mt. Fuji is an active volcano about 100 kilometers southwest of Tokyo. Commonly called “Fuji-san,” it’s the country’s tallest peak, at 3,776 meters. A pilgrimage site for centuries, it’s considered one of Japan’s 3 sacred mountains, and summit hikes remain a popular activity. Its iconic profile is the subject of numerous works of art, notably Edo Period prints by Hokusai and Hiroshige 

  Why is mount fuji famous?                                                                                                     

Rising to 12,388 feet (3,776 metres), Mount Fuji is the tallest mountain in Japan and is known for its graceful conical form. It is the country’s sacred symbol, and temples and shrines are located around and on the volcano. Climbing the mountain has long been a religious practice, and Fuji is one of Japan’s most popular tourist attractions.

How was mount fuji formed?                                                                                                               While tradition holds that the volcano was created by an earthquake, the truth is more complex. Fuji seems to have formed during the past 2.6 million years. The present-day mountain is a composite of three successive volcanoes: at the bottom is Komitake, which was surmounted by Ko Fuji (“Old Fuji”) and, finally, by the most recent, Shin Fuji (“New Fuji”). Over the millennia the lava and other ejecta from Ko Fuji covered most of Komitake.

 Is mount fuji active?                                                                                                                The volcano is considered active and has erupted more than 15 times since 781. However, Mount Fuji has been dormant since an eruption in 1707, and its last signs of volcanic activity occurred in the 1960s. Given concerns about the extensive damage that would be caused by an eruption, Fuji is monitored 24 hours a day.
