Mount Fuji (富士山 Fujisan, IPA: [ɸɯꜜdʑisaɴ] (About this soundlisten)), located on Honshū, is the highest volcano in

Japan at 3,776.24 m (12,389 ft), 2nd-highest peak of an island (volcanic) in Asia, and 7th-highest peak of an island in the
world.[1] It is a dormant stratovolcano that last erupted in 1707–1708.[4][5] Mount Fuji lies about 100 kilometers (60
mi) south-west of Tokyo, and can be seen from there on a clear day. Mount Fuji's exceptionally symmetrical cone, which
is snow-capped for about 5 months a year, is commonly used as a symbol of Japan and it is frequently depicted in art
and photographs, as well as visited by sightseers and climbers.[6]

Tokyo's most famous landmark, the Imperial Palace with its beautiful 17th-century parks surrounded by walls and
moats, is a must-see when visiting the nation's capital. Don't be put off by the fact that the majority of the palace is
closed to the public (it's still in use by the Imperial family), as there is still enough to see simply by strolling the grounds.
In addition to the many fine views of the palace from numerous points in the surrounding parkland - including the
famous Nijubashi Bridge, or "double bridge," so named for its watery reflection - visitors are permitted into the East
Higashi-Gyoen Garden and other areas that are opened to the public as part of an organized tour. Another must-see for
tourists visiting Tokyo is the famous Ginza shopping district, home to the Kabuki-za Theatre with its Kabuki
performances, as well as the Shimbashi Enbujo Theatre with its traditional Azuma-odori dances and Bunraku
performances.
