Mount Fuji is a round peak volcano. The peak has a large lake 800m in diameter, 200m deep, is the crater left. From 781 to 1707, volcanoes sprayed 18 times. Currently active, the peak of the mountain still has a steaming phenomenon. Because there are spray mouths on the foot of the mountain, there are many caves, all pictures, very attractive to tourists. When Mount Fuji was active, lava melted the cooled lava, cleared the passage, then sprayed out, spilling around. When it cools, settle there, forming hills like beautiful round hammer heads. In the language of the ethnic Ha di, Nhat Ban, Fuji means volcano.
The year-round peak of the snow covered Fuji as a snow hat. Under the border of the snow is a brown slope of 20km due to lava and volcanic ash. From there down at the foot of the mountain in turn distributed the coniferous forest, temperate broadleaf forest, evergreen broadleaf forest of tropical Asia. Plants have more than 2000 species. The five Fuji lakes at the foot of the northern mountain, the silver mountain of the southern mountains and the Fuji city with the hunting park are all very attractive tourist areas.
