This year, the news told that safety goods were equipped at mountain huts there and the evacuation map is 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 was in 1707. Mt. Fuji has been dormant for more than 300years, so Japanese people almost forgot the fact it is a non-dead volcano, and hadn’t really thought of the eruption. However people started to think about the possibility in these days since some volcanoes became active recently and a couple of them erupted all of sudden.
The photos are taken from the west side of Tokyo. Although it looks very beautiful, 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 and the outline is so sharply showing the beautiful symmetry shape with the flat top which is a huge crater from distance like in the photo below.
