Genesis

Mount Fuji has long been one of Japan’s famous iconic symbols, contributing to the country’s cultural and spiritual geography. It has been considered a sacred site for followers of the Shinto religion since the 7th century.
But why the 3-69?
It might look like it’s just one giant mountain, but Mount Fuji is actually made up of three separate volcanoes: Komitake at the bottom, Kofuji in the middle and Fuji at the top, which is the youngest of the three.
As the mountain has sacred importance and climbing it has long been a religious practice, it was formally forbidden territory for women. The first western woman to reach the summit was Lady Fanny Parkes in 1869.
