To those of you from overseas: Japan is an animistic country, so its people consider mountains sacred. From a Japanese perspective, we are of "lowly human character", so we don't like to tamper with the sacred Mountain. I have heard that in foreign countries, popular mountains are often paved and hiking trails are made. This is not common in Japan, it is the exact opposite. The more rugged a mountain is, the more sacred it is considered to be, and therefore the more it is not processed by human hands.(In fact, even if we wanted to do something about it, it would be impossible because the mountain path is too steep.) In other words, the more famous a mountain is, the more people die there. In Japan, a "famous mountain" is a "dangerous mountain." I think Mount Fuji is a prime example of this. FUJIYAMA is a famous mountain depicted in ukiyo-e paintings, so you may want to approach it. However, it is precisely because it is such a famous mountain that even foreigners know its name that you should not enter it carelessly. You will die if you do so. (Sorry if the translation is wrong)
