What makes Mount Fuji so special in Japanese culture?
Japanese people have cherished mountains for a long time, and for hundreds of years Shinto practitioners would frequently make spiritual pilgrimages from one of several lakes at the bottom of Mt. Fuji all the way to the breathtaking, often gusty summit that could knock you off your feet. It wasn’t an easy hike, and arrival at the peak sandwiched you between the heavens and the earth with little interruption. It was as close as you could get to the gods.
