Mount Fuji Peak, Japan, 1982
"'He who climbs Fuji once is a wise man; he who climbs it twice is a fool,' goes a Japanese saying. For centuries pilgrims have ascended 12,389-foot [3,776-meter] Mount Fuji. Now even as its slopes are scarred by erosion and defiled by tons of garbage, planners seek to accommodate more people."

—From "Earth Almanac," January 1993, National Geographic magazine

【中文翻譯】

有句日本諺語說：“攀登富士山一次的人是一個智者；攀登兩次的人就是一個笨蛋。”數個世紀以來，朝圣者們已經登上了12389英尺[3776米] 的富士山。現在即使它的斜坡由于侵蝕變得傷痕累累和受到大量垃圾的污染，計劃者仍然設法接待更多的來客。
