Mt. Fuji is the tallest, and most famous mountain in Japan. It is located chiefly in [[Shizuoka prefecture]], but is visible from a considerable distance. In classical and medieval times, it was an oft-mentioned ''[[meisho]]'' (famous site/sight) recalling [[Musashino]] ("the East"), but has since the [[Edo period]] become a major symbol of Japan as a whole. | Mt.
