Mount Fuji rises 3,776 m above sea level in a near-perfect symmetric cone, Japan's highest peak and one of the most recognizable mountain silhouettes on Earth. Orbit the volcano, toggle the summit snow cap, and mark the five lakes ringing its base.
Published figures: summit 3,776.24 m at Kengamine on the crater rim; last eruption 1707-1708 (the Hoei eruption); UNESCO World Heritage cultural site since 2013.

Mount Fuji 3D Explorer
This browser explorer shows Mount Fuji as a schematic solitary stratovolcano: a smooth symmetric cone rising to a 3,776 m summit crater, a snow cap above the schematic snowline, and five lake markers ringing the base.
Mount Fuji stands on Honshu island, about 100 km southwest of Tokyo, straddling Shizuoka and Yamanashi prefectures. Its almost-perfect conical symmetry comes from repeated eruptions building the volcano in even layers of lava and ash; the last eruption was the Hoei event of 1707-1708. The Fuji Five Lakes - Kawaguchiko, Yamanakako, Saiko, Shojiko, and Motosuko - sit at its northern base and are a classic viewpoint for the mountain. UNESCO listed Mount Fuji as a cultural World Heritage Site in 2013 for its role as a sacred site and wellspring of Japanese art.

Frequently Asked Questions
How tall is Mount Fuji?
3,776.24 m above sea level, measured at Kengamine on the crater rim - the highest peak in Japan.
Is Mount Fuji still an active volcano?
Yes. It is classed as active; its last eruption was the Hoei eruption of 1707-1708.
What are the Fuji Five Lakes?
Kawaguchiko, Yamanakako, Saiko, Shojiko, and Motosuko - five lakes at the mountain's northern base, a classic viewpoint for photographing the cone.
Where is Mount Fuji located?
On Honshu island, Japan, straddling the Shizuoka and Yamanashi prefecture border, about 100 km southwest of Tokyo.
Why is Mount Fuji so symmetric?
Repeated eruptions built up even layers of lava and ash over thousands of years, producing the near-perfect conical shape seen today.
Is this a terrain simulation?
No. It is an educational explorer using published figures - the cone shape, snowline, and lake positions are schematic teaching cues, not survey terrain.
