Mountain
Thanks to its mountainous lands, Japan has many different types of mountains including Mt. Fuji, at which mountain climbing can be enjoyed at a 600-meter above sea level, and Mt. Takao, where people visit for hiking by taking a ropeway. Check where to go as some mountains are popular for cherry blossoms in spring and autumn leaves.
