Japan II

Japan looks like a volcanic island sitting in the Pacific Ocean. Some of the waves that beat against the coast reach as high as 150 feet. One of the most famous symbols of Japan, is the sacred volcano Mt. Fuji, it is known as Fuji-san meaning "Mr. Fuji" in Japanese. This volcano has not been active for about "3,000 years", since 1707. More than a million tourists climb it every year. The most popular city in Japan is the acient imperial capital of Kyoto. It was spared during the bombing of World War II. Today it is an "open-air museum".
