Natural Vegetation of Mount Fuji

Mount Fuji is a precious place where we can continuously observe the vertical distribution of vegetation zones. You cannot observe alpine plants anymore at a lower altitude than at other mountains. Even at the same altitude, vegetation varies depending on the timing of eruption or the components of lava. The forest line of Fuji is said to be around at 2,400-meter elevation but it varies depending on location.

Mount Fuji is also famous of the sakura or cherry blossoms around it.
