volcanic activity

The crater on the top of Mount Fuji erupted 18 times, and the latest eruption was in 1707. Although it is currently dormant, jets will appear at any time.

In recorded Japanese history, the most active period of Mount Fuji volcanic activity was the Heian period in the early 9th century. The history book "A Brief History of Yan Li" contains: "In June of the 19th year of Japanese history (800), Jun River said that from March 14th to April 18th last year, Mount Fuji caught fire, with dark smoke during the day and blazing flames at night. The sound was like thunder, the ash was like rain, and the river below was red."

In Yan Li's Brief Introduction to Japan in the 21st year (802), he wrote: "As the saying goes, Mount Fuji in Suruga burns day and night, and the sand is like fog. Those who seek witchcraft occupy Japan and suffer from thousands of epidemics should make the two countries thank each other, read the classics and stir up trouble (middle) in May (middle), and feel the way of the national football. This is the famous "fire in the calendar" in Japanese history.
