On the clearest of days, its white capped peak may be visible from hundreds of kilometers away however, more often than not the view of the mountaintop is obstructed by low hanging clouds or poor visibility. Mount Fuji can be seen from countless points in the surrounding regions, seemingly assuming a different character from each perspective. But the climbing season only lasts for a few months and frankly, Mount Fuji looks better from afar than from close up. Of course, the most obvious would be to climb the mountain, as you cannot help but see the slopes as you plod along the trails up to the peak.
The tephra fallout also reduced agricultural productivity in the region, causing many people to starve to death.There are many opportunities for travelers to enjoy views of Mount Fuji. But what can be attributed to the Hoei eruption is the damage to homes near Fuji. The damage-especially the deaths-from these disasters, plus a tsunami, is hard to untangle. The estimated-8.6-magnitude earthquake likely triggered a primed Fuji to erupt. Fuji’s Hoei eruption was preceded by a massive earthquake. This region is known for its volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. The roughly horseshoe-shaped Ring of Fire circles the South Pacific, the eastern rim of Asia, and the western edge of the Americas. Japan is located on the most geologically active part of the planet, the Ring of Fire. Tephra blanketed the city of Edo (now the central part of Tokyo, more than 100 kilometers (62 miles) away). Tephra released by the 1707 eruption of Fuji (called the Hoei eruption) included volcanic ash and volcanic rock, such as pumice and scoria. Tephra includes all solid volcanic material-not lava or volcanic gas. Fuji’s last eruption ejected tons of tephra into the atmosphere. Fuji has erupted at various times starting around 100,000 years ago-and is still an active volcano today. The top two are known as “Old Fuji” (Ko Fuji) and “Young Fuji” (Shin Fuji). Fuji is composed of several overlapping volcanoes. On December 16, 1707, scientists recorded the last confirmed eruption of Mount Fuji, Japan’s highest point.
