Mount Fuji:

Mount Fuji is the highest peak in Japan and a symbol of the Japanese nation. It is praised as a "holy mountain" by the Japanese people. Mount Fuji is located in south-central Honshu, about 80 kilometers east of Tokyo, with an area of 90.76 square kilometers and an altitude of 3,776 meters. The peaks are towering into the clouds, and the peaks are covered with snow. The mountain is conical, like an upside-down fan.

Since it was recorded in writing in 78 1 year, Mount Fuji * * * has erupted 18 times, and the last time was 1707 times, thus becoming a dormant volcano. Due to the eruption of the crater, countless caves have been formed in the foothills, which are very charming and varied. Some caves still have air jets, while others are as cold as ice. The wall of the most beautiful Fuyuefeng Cave is covered with stalactite-like icicles, which do not melt all the year round. Commonly known as "Millennium Snow", it is regarded as a rare spectacle.

In Japan, April is more lively than the New Year, because April is when cherry blossoms are in full bloom.

As soon as March entered, almost all Japanese people began to look forward to the blooming of cherry blossoms. When the weather turned warmer, the first cherry blossom finally smiled in the chilly spring breeze, and the annual cherry blossom viewing activity began. The news that "cherry blossoms are in full bloom somewhere" and "a cherry blossom festival will be held one day" is constantly coming out in newspapers and TV. Japanese people are dressed up and go out to enjoy cherry blossoms, women wear kimonos and children.

Cherry blossoms are like pink clouds floating on hillsides, roadsides, parks, courtyards and even ravines in fields.

As a landscape, a symbol and even a spirit, cherry blossoms have become a unique culture in Japan. Japanese people enjoy cherry blossoms for a long time. According to records, cherry blossoms have become a folk activity in spring since the Edo period. Edo period is the heyday in Japanese history, which can be described as "national prosperity and people's security". After people had enough to eat and wear warm clothes, they began to pay attention to spiritual enjoyment, and the cherry blossoms in early spring became the bright spot in the eyes of the Japanese.

Cherry blossoms are warm, pure and noble. This is the first time to bring the breath of spring to the Japanese people after the severe winter. The Japanese government has designated March 15 to April 15 as the "Cherry Blossom Festival" every year. In this flower viewing season, people bring their relatives, invite friends, sit on the floor under the cherry trees with wine and vegetables, and enjoy the cherry blossoms while drinking. It is really a great pleasure in life.

Cherry blossoms have a history of 1000 years in Japan. In Nara period (7 10-794), when it comes to flowers, it means plum blossom. In Heian period (794- 1 192), cherry blossoms became the leading role, and there were five times more songs about cherry blossoms than Yongmei flowers. And there have been cherry blossom viewing activities in Japan for a long time. In the 7th century, Emperor Zhi Zhi was particularly fond of cherry blossoms and visited yoshinoyama in Nara many times. In addition, it is said that the first cherry blossom viewing conference in Japanese history was held under the auspices of Emperor Emei in the 9th century. At first, cherry blossom viewing was only popular among dignitaries, and it didn't spread to ordinary people until the Edo period (1603- 1867), forming a traditional folk custom.

Cherry blossoms have a short life span. There is a Japanese folk proverb that "the cherry blossoms last for seven days", that is, it takes about seven days for a cherry blossom to bloom and wither, and about 16 days for the whole cherry tree to bloom and wither, which forms the characteristics of the bloom flowering of cherry blossoms. It is this feature that makes cherry blossoms so attractive. Being honored as the national flower is not only because of its charm and charm, but more importantly, its "heroic" withering after its brief glory.

Ask the soul of Yamato and watch the cherry blossoms at sunrise. The Japanese believe that life is too short, to live as brightly as cherry blossoms, and to leave decisively even if you die. When the cherry blossoms fall, they are spotless and crisp, and are honored as the Japanese spirit.

Sakura is the most popular flower variety in Japan. Snow-like cherry blossoms symbolize the gorgeous and short-lived aesthetic of Japanese Bushido. In Japanese, "cherry blossom time" refers to the season when cherry blossoms are in full bloom, that is, spring. When cherry blossoms are in full bloom in spring, go to the most splendid place of cherry blossoms, while eating sushi and drinking Japanese wine, while intoxicated with the flying "flowers blowing snow?" はなふぶき) is the most important thing for Japanese people in a year.

Whenever the cherry blossom season begins in spring, people gather in cherry blossom viewing places all over the country and sit under pink and white trees. Everyone cheered and sang, laughed and laughed about spring, and captured the splendid spring. With such an original Yamato style, the word "Huajian" is even accepted as an English proper noun, meaning a Japanese cherry blossom feast. Japanese people have enjoyed cherry blossoms for a long time, and it is generally believed that it originated from the cherry blossom banquet held in heian period Palace. In the third year of Qing Dynasty (1598), Toyotomi Hideyoshi held a flower viewing party at Daiguo Temple in Kyoto on March 15, which was unprecedented and famous in history. However, Hua Jian became a Japanese civilian in the middle of the year after the Edo era.

As the national flower of Japan, cherry blossoms are deeply loved by Japanese and tourists. At present, there are more than 300 kinds of cherry blossoms in Japan. Cherry blossoms bloom in April, from south to north in turn. The earliest cherry blossoms can be seen in Okinawa, and the latest cherry blossoms are Hokkaido, the coldest place in Japan. The flowering period of cherry blossoms is not long, and the blooming time is usually 10 day, just like a pink cloud drifting across Japan from south to north.

When cherry blossoms are in full bloom, you can smell faint flowers and enjoy red, pink and white cherry blossoms at the flower viewing places in parks and streets. At this time, large and small "cherry blossom festivals" will be held all over Japan. Relatives and friends will sit around the cherry trees, take out lunch boxes, drink champagne or sake, talk and laugh, and the petals will drift with the breeze from time to time. People who appreciate flowers, whether they know them or not, will nod their heads from time to time and even exchange food. It is not so much a flower viewing as a real "family day" and "friendship day". It is no wonder that the Japanese enjoy it, and some companies even list cherry blossom viewing as their "designated project".

In Japan, the most distinctive place to enjoy cherry blossoms is Hakone-CHO. In this scenic tourist resort, you can not only enjoy cherry blossoms while soaking in hot springs, but also overlook the quiet and beautiful Mount Fuji.

Hakone-CHO, located 90 kilometers west of Tokyo, is one of the most representative tourist attractions in Japan, surrounded by peaks. As early as 400,000 years ago, Hakone-machiyama, a conical volcano similar to Mount Fuji, was formed. Later, due to the subsidence of the central part, a large volcanic vent was formed, and the water in the crater formed a deer lake with bright eyes and white teeth. Now in the center of Hakone-machiyama, visitors can still see the scenery of steam and sulfur smoke. As a national park designated by Japan, Hakone-CHO still has many places of interest worth visiting.

In April, when spring comes to Hakone-CHO, cherry blossoms bloom from the foothills, slopes and tops of Hakone-CHO. Due to the long flowering period, tourists can enjoy cherry blossoms for a long time. The steaming, smoky Japanese open-air hot springs and antique Japanese small hotels everywhere in Hakone Town attract a large number of tourists to visit here every year.

In the spring of Japan, from Kyushu in early March to Hokkaido in mid-May, wherever this "cherry blossom front" advances, the cherry blossoms spread in turn, and the lively cherry blossom banquet spread from south to north. It only takes three to five days for cherry blossoms to bloom and wither. Once it rains, the brilliant cherry blossoms may come to an end the next day. Although the flowering period is short, the Japanese will still hold a banquet to celebrate, just like a happy cherry blossom carnival.
