Mount Fuji or "Fuji-San", as the Japanese would call it out of respect, is the highest mountain in Japan and one of its most sacred. Fuji may not come anywhere near to the stature of some of the highest mountains in the world (it's about one third of the height of Everest) but what it lacks in height, it definately makes up for in shape; it has the most perfect volcanic cone shape; you just have to see it to believe it.
For the third time i rented a bike and cycled around the lakes which lay at the foot of Mt. Fuji on it's northern side. Throughout my 5 hour, 35 kilometer journey - yes, I lost my way a couple of times and fell off once - I was conforted by the sight of Fuji's peak following me wherever I rode. At the risk of boring you with even more beautiful pictures of Japanese scenery, here are a few of the better ones.
