Mt Fuji doesn't have the same extreme dangers as the other mountains that we've covered here, but it's iconic enough to deserve it's own entry. At 12,389.2 ft it's the highest mountain in Japan, and dare I say, the most beautiful as well. It's climbed by hundreds of thousands of people every year, but it can still be very dangerous due to extreme weather in the winter. But at least it hasn't erupted for a really long time....
