4. Mount Fuji

The Japanese icon of Mount Fuji is not only the country’s highest mountain, but also a perfectly formed volcano. Although its last eruption was in 1707, it’s still active. The potential for a reawakening of this sleeping giant merely adds to its wonder. Look for the mountain if you’re in Tokyo or Yokohama on a clear day. Take the bullet train, a marvel in itself, which runs past the mountain between Tokyo and Osaka.
