Pictorial Travel

Mt. Fuji is the highest mountain in Japan. Because of its solemn and majestic view, this mountain has been adored as a religious object and loved by people in Japan from ancient days. Even though it is hard to climb to the top, you can go up to the middle by car, so there are increasing numbers of visitors coming from overseas these days. What is attractive about Mount Fuji is its expressive look that changes day and night and season by season, and never shows the same again. This book introduces 40 images of the mountain taken by professional photographers who have been shooting Mount Fuji for so long. Not only photographs of Mount Fuji, but also images of art and craft with a motif of Mount Fuji are included, which gives more taste of culture to the book. Back matter includes history of Mount Fuji, popular climbing routes to the top, best view spots, and maps for accommodation.
