(From Bibliography list) || Citation (Matthews, 2010, Roman Colosseum) || (This is only for man made landmarks) || || || || (only if man made) || || || || Fuji-san has been regarded as **sacred mountain** for virtually as long as humans have lived nearby. It was originally a sacred mountain of the Ainu, the aboriginal inhabitants of Japan. For Shintoists (modern followers of the native religion), Mt. Fuji is sacred to the goddess Sengen-Sama and an embodiment of the very spirit of nature. The Fujiko sect goes even father, believing the mountain itself is a sacred being with a soul. Although especially important to Shintoists, Fuji is also sacred to Japanese Buddhists, who revere the mountain is a gateway to another world. || #3 || || || hike || #1 || ||
