Describe what your landmark looks like. || <span style="border-collapse: separate; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">Mount Fuji is the highest mountain in Japan at 3,776.24 m (12,389 ft).[1] An active stratovolcano that last erupted in 1707-08, Mount Fuji lies about 60 miles south-west of Tokyo, and can be seen from there on a clear day. Mount Fuji's exceptionally symmetrical cone is a well-known symbol of Japan and it is frequently depicted in art and photographs, as well as visited by sightseers and climbers. It is one of Japan's "Three Holy Mountains" along with Mount Tate and Mount Haku. || website#2 || (Sanjjs, n.d., What did mount fuji look like?) ||

The beautiful peak has been venerated as the home of a fire god, later the dwelling of a Shinto goddess of flowing trees, and since Buddhist times, as the abode of Dainichi Nyorai, the Buddha of All-Illuminating Wisdom. While scholars debate the origin of the mountain's name, one of the most commonly used means ‘Everlasting Life.' || website#1 || (Lyvers, n.d., Mount Fuji) ||

Younger than many Japanese mountains, Fuji began to rise only 25,000 years ago and had probably assumed its general form by 8000 BC. || <span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 10pt; margin-bottom: 0.1pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0.1pt;"> website #1 || (Lyvers, n.d., Mount Fuji) ||
