Mount Fuji in autumn foliage - a symbol of Japan's fall season.

VTV.vn - Mount Fuji, the highest sacred mountain in Japan at 3,776m, has long been a symbol, not only associated with culture and art but also a dream destination for tourists.

In Japanese culture, Momiji symbolizes the changing of time, as leaves gradually turn red and yellow across Japan.

The Japanese have a specific term for enjoying autumn foliage, pronounced "momijigari." People seek out mountains, gardens, parks, or leaf-covered roads to admire the vibrant beauty of autumn.

Images of Mount Fuji and its vibrant maple leaves frequently appear in Ukiyo-e woodblock prints, poetry, and photography in Japan. Masterpieces such as the "36 Views of Mount Fuji" series have contributed to making this image famous worldwide .

At this time of year, during the cold season, Mount Fuji is cloudless and it's the most beautiful time to view the mountain.

Mount Fuji in autumn foliage is an iconic symbol of the fall season, frequently featured in Japanese literature and painting. The best time to see the beautiful red leaves at the foot of the mountain is from mid-November to early December each year.

Since the Heian period (8th-12th centuries), the aristocracy and literati have practiced the custom of "hunting for autumn leaves," composing poetry, painting, and holding festivals under the maple trees. Mount Fuji, with its special place in the Japanese psyche, became the center of this custom, associated with many famous works of art, poetry, and woodblock prints.
