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.

We spent a cozy rainy weekend at the marina cooking a romantic Valentine’s dinner on our sailboat. Duck, octopus, escargot, wine and candlelight — this is the sailboat lifestyle we dreamed about. There’s something special about rain on deck and warm lights in the galley. Instead of going out for Valentine’s Day, we stayed aboard and made honey balsamic glazed duck, sautéed octopus and escargot with Brussels sprouts, and baked brie with raspberry pecan topping. You'll love the knives and air fryer that I use, and you can get them on Amazon. View the details and cost with my affiliate links below: KNIVES: https://amzn.to/4c00kdR AIR FRYER: https://amzn.to/4kV43f5 This is what cozy sailboat living looks like — even on a lake. If you dream about liveaboard life, marina living, cooking on a boat, or creating a romantic boat lifestyle without living on the ocean, you’re in the right place.
