   • There is a lot of debate about what Fuji actually means. In Japanese, the mountain is typically called Fujisan or Fujiyama—both san and yama mean “mountain.”
   • Mount Fuji is an active volcano. Although Fuji is at a low risk of erupting anytime soon, the fact that it has blown in the last 10,000 years means it’s still considered an active volcano.
   • Fuji may look like a solitary mountain, but it’s actually three peaks layered on top of one another. Legend has it that Fuji was created overnight by an earthquake in 286 BCE.
   • Climbers measure Fuji in stations—not feet or meters. When actually climbing the mountain—which can only be done during the official climbing season that runs from early July to mid-September—progress is measured in stations (or stages).
