Abstract
Mt. Fuji is a symbol of Japan and is an object of faith of Japanese people, more from ancient times. She was registered into the provisional registration list of World Cultural Heritages in 2007. However, she is in the situation where being formally registered as world heritage takes time for a while. More than 300,000 tourists are climbing a mountain to the Mt. Fuji top in the mountain-climbing season of the summer of 2008. Therefore, the natural
environment of Mt. Fuji is getting worse. She has been disgraced with a mountaineer's excrement and garbage. It is a situation which cannot be recovered by the self-purification power which Mt. Fuji has her own power. Moreover, her surface is full of cracks by the mountain trail and the way of the bulldozer for carry a heavy load up the summit. It is important to hand down Mt. Fuji to future generations as a symbol of Japan which prides itself in the world. Therefore, the present, Japanese people are asked for impulsion of the conservation of nature, and reexamination of sightseeing mountain climbing.
