Mt. Fuji across Shizuoka Prefecture and Yamanashi Prefecture is a mountain in a Japanese highest peak. It is Tateyama, Hakusan, and queues up, is counted in one of Japanese 3 Ryozen (3 person in Japan mountain), and is one of 100 person in Japan mountains. It is an active volcano, and Mt. Fuji aims at the registration of UNESCO to World Heritage at the beginning of the 1990’s, and the movement of above sea level 3,776m has been developed. At first, the recommendation of the country will be put off from manage of the environment difficult though registration to the natural heritage was examined. However, it aimed at registration to the cultural heritage now, and it was registered in the tentative list in 2007. The examination by the monument ruins conference at which the world cultural heritage of UNESCO is investigated is scheduled to be received in the future.
“Mt. Fuji” has already been specified for “Special place of scenic beauty” by Cultural Properties Protection Law in 1952 though it is a registration waiting state as for World Heritage. The place of scenic beauty is land of with a good view. Moreover, “Mt. Fuji primeval forest” is specified for the natural monument in 1929.

Above all, Mt. Fuji is existence indispensable for the economy of the surrounding area using the underflow water. Manufacturing related to the paper manufacturing industry and the medical treatment is actively done in the surrounding area. The underflow water in Mt. Fuji is sold from the abundant content of the vanadium as a mineral water. Moreover, it is an important pillar where the travel industry that takes notice of the people who visit religious facilities a lot of the visit to a shrine, summering, and climbing mountain, etc. also supports economy in the region in the Mt. Fuji region.
The difference of the opinion happened in Yamanashi Prefecture that valued Shizuoka Prefecture and the tourist destination development that valued nature and cultural protection even if coming round the natural inheritance registration of Mt. Fuji. Problems of the regulation of private cars of the Mt. Fuji tollway and Fuji climbing mountain guest’s garbage problem, etc. continue.
It is Mt. Fuji that has been written in the song from the age of [manha]. It wishes that it want you to take it as World Heritage by all means.
