Mt. Fuji

Today's topic is Mt. Fuji.

  It is one of famous place in Shizuoka. Many people know it,

and many people visit Shizuoka to do sightseeing it.

 At first I'm going to introduce it. Mt. Fuji is Japan's highest peak with an altitude of 3,776 meters （12,388 feet）. Can you imagine it? Actually, it takes about one hour half from my house to there, but I can see it from my house.

 Every winter it is covered with snow. It is sooooooo beautiful. I saw Mt. Fuji with snow on the way to my school when I was high school student. Do you envy me??:->

Can you see Mt.Fuji? It was cloudy day...

 Many Japanese think it is not reasonable, but Mt. Fuji, the widely recognized symbol of Japan, is conspicuously not registered as a world heritage site. Do you know the reason? It is because of environmental problems and a big problem that we should deal with.

 However I want to come there for many people. When you come, you should care about some problem.

1. Clothes : The temperature difference between the mountain's base and top is around 20 degrees, and even though summer is hot in Japan dawn temperatures at Fuji's peak in August can still be near or below freezing.
2. Time : You have to make a time plan when you climb.
3. Environment : Of course, you have to bring your garbages and if you will see garbages, please pick up them.

 In addition to the mountain itself, nearby areas such as the Fuji Five Lakes, are also renowned for their beautiful scenery.

 When you come to Shizuoka, you should go to Mt. Fuji.

with my fingers. I caught it!!!!!
