The 3,776m high mountain, the symbol of the Land of Funan, is in fact an active volcano, and the last eruption took place in 1707, known as the Hoei eruption.

Scientists have warned that the reservoir pressure is increasing steadily over the past 300 years, so a regional seismic could awaken the "hung god" who is sleeping, according to Kyodo News.

The team of experts, including researchers from Japan's National Advanced Science and Technology Institute, used aerial photographs and field surveys at several craters. on Mount Fuji to analyze past eruptions about 10,000 years ago and the event in 1707.

Accordingly, they discovered that two earthquakes appeared before the volcano erupted in 1707, and Akira Takada, a volcanic scientist, warned of a seismic attack that could trigger Mount Fuji to erupt.
