When someone thinks about Japan, the first thing that probably comes to their mind would be Mount Fuji.
Mount Fuji is the highest mountain in Japan. With Mount Tate and Mount Haku, these 3 mountains are Japan's "3 holy mountains". Mount Fuji is actually an inactive volcano and it is located at Honshu of Japan. On a clear day, the Mount Fuji can be viewed from nearly all parts of Japan and as it is really famous, it is a must see for all tourist that visit Japan.

When we talk about Japan, people would think of the Shinkasen (bullet train). The Shinkasen used to operate at 210km/hr, but now, it operates at 581km/hr. It is mainly used for commuters travelling from one prefecture to the other. The Shinkansen uses electricity to operate the trains and furthermore, it is air sealed to prevent pressure from its high speed. Although it is moving at a very fast speed, when seated inside, you can hardly even realise that it is moving at a speed of more than 400km/hr! The Shinkansen is also said to be environmentally friendly, producing very little amount of carbon dioxide compared to a car.
