To say endurance, Mt Fuji may not be a proper topic because it is not a dead volcano but just inactive today. Here Yokohama is 50 km far from the mountain and it is said that ashes from the volcanic eruption fell 10 cm (4 inches) several centuries ago. Probably as you know, the earthquake happens sometimes in Japan. One of the reason is the islands of Japan are on the edge of crustal plates and, in some cases, activities of volcanos are related to this condition. In order to make buildings endurable, ancient people chose a wood to build them instead of rocks.

Wow.. I love the first picture.. Mt. Fuji is one of the places I really want to visit. 🙂
I envy you. 😉
The picture was taken from a hill close to the lake Yamanaka. One of my most favorite places around Mt. Fuji. Good to spend a summer day.
The photo of Fujiyama is beautiful. And with the Autumn colors in the foreground, it suits the season as well.
Thank you. The lake is at 1000 meters above sea level and good place for summer resort. Of course, in autumn, it is quiet and beautiful.
