Mount Fuji Is on Honshu, Not an Island of Its Own

Mount Fuji (3,776 m) stands on Honshu, Japan's largest island—about 100 km southwest of Tokyo. It is not on a separate island.

The iconic stratovolcano straddles Shizuoka and Yamanashi prefectures. Its symmetrical cone, cultural significance, and accessibility make it Japan's most famous peak. Climbing season: July–September.
