Mount Fuji is a stratovolcano, characterized by its symmetrical cone shape formed by alternating layers of lava flows, volcanic ash, and tephra. It stands at 3,776 meters (12,389 feet), making it the tallest mountain in Japan. The mountain features a summit crater, approximately 800 meters (2,625 feet) in diameter, and is surrounded by several volcanic landforms, including lava plateaus and valleys. Its last eruption occurred in 1707 during the Edo period, and it is considered an active volcano, although it has been dormant since then.
