Mount Fuji (日本, Fujisan), Japan's highest peak at 3,776 meters (12,389 ft), is a dormant stratovolcano (last erupted in 1707) and a designated UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site. It is considered a sacred site for Shintoists, who believe the peak is sacred to the goddess Sengen-Sama The Name "Fuji" * Fujisan (富士山): While often called "Fujiyama" in the West, the Japanese refer to it as "Fujisan". Both "san" and "yama" mean mountain. * Obscure Origins: The exact origin of the name "Fuji" is unclear, but many theories exist, including "immortal" (fushi) or "not two" (peerless/fuji). * Kanji Meaning: The current characters for Fuji (富士) can be interpreted to mean "wealth" (富) and "man of status" (士). * Historic Names: In The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter (9th-10th century), an elixir of life is burned at the peak, leading it to be called fushi(immortal).  2. Curiosities and Unique Facts * Three Volcanoes in One: Mt. Fuji is actually three separate volcanoes stacked on top of each other: Komitake at the base, Kofuji in the middle, and Fuji at the top. * Privately Owned: The land from the 8th station (roughly 3,360 meters) to the summit is private property belonging to the Fujisan Hongū Sengen Taisha shrine. * Forbidden for Women: For centuries until the Meiji Restoration in 1868, women were forbidden from climbing the mountain. * "Fuji's Peak" (Hairline): A widow's peak hairline (a point in the middle of the forehead) is referred to as "Fuji's peak" in Japanese and is considered a marker of beauty. * Active Volcano: Despite being dormant for over 300 years, geologists still classify it as an active volcano. * 10 Stages (Gome): The trail to the top is divided into 10 "stations" or gome, with the fifth station being the highest point accessible by vehicle.

Lezlie and Jason return from a European adventure for what should be the last push before splashing on Friday. Naturally, a heat wave has settled in as an obstacle to their plans but unboxing the Midea portable AC unit from Sam’s Club SHOULD provide relief from the scorching heat.
