The real Mt. Fuji from Mt. Takao (Hachiōji, Tokyo)
富士塚   Fujizuka
Surrogate Mt. Fuji around Tokyo
Mt. Fuji is sacred so a pilgrimage to climb the mountain is a very desirable spiritual undertaking.
Many shrines and temples around Tokyo have surrogate Mt. Fuji (often made with rocks from Mt. Fuji)
that can be climbed (or visited) without having to journey to the actual peak.
Here are a small assortment of Fujizuka. Those that are off limits to climbers are designated 'ornamental'.
The height of the fujizuka are from a Japanese language directory of fujizuka by prefecture.
According to this directory, there are more than 60 Fujizuka in the 23 Wards of Tokyo.
