How Many Japanese Are There On Top of Mt. Fuji

Posted by Bill Belew on October 1st, 2008 in All about Japan | No Comments

Japan is crowded, very crowded. The country is a little smaller than the size of the state of California, and about 60% of the country is mountainous, unlivable. The population is a bit more than 1/3 that of the United States.

Think of one in three people of the U.S, being stuffed into the southern California area. You get the idea.

The country’s mountain ranges may be unliveable, but that doesn’t stop the Japanese from going to the mountains.

How many Japanese are there on top of Mt. Fuji? From this pic, it looks like ALL OF THEM are up there, no?

“He who climbs Mt. Fuji once is wise, he who climbs Mt. Fuji twice is a fool.”

I have been up there three times. What’s that make me?’

    From my childhood, I have read about Fuji Mountain. It is more than a mountain to the Japanese people. They not only go there for mountain climbing, but also they respect the mountain. It is one of the national symbols for the country. Thanks a lot for writing about it and letting the readers know about a special feature of this mountain.
