Recently I climbed Mt. Fuji taking only about 1munite!
It's not genuine Mt. Fuji, but a Fujizuka mound, a kind of an artificial Mt.fuji.
In Edo period people believed Mt. Fuji was a sacred place and there were a lot of pilgrimage groups called Fujiko.
They went on pilgrimages to Mt. Fuji.
But some people among them could not take part in the tour because of their budget, their job or some circumstances.
Especially at that time, women were prohibited to climb Mt.Fuji except a special one year of 60 years.
Therefore small hills which they could experience simulation to climbed Mt. Fuji.

Some of them still remain and I went to one of them, Hatonomori shrine in Shibuya ward, Tokyo.
http://www.hatonomori-shrine.or.jp/index.php?id=73#type030_73_1
It is 6-7meters high made in around 1789.
A small shrine is located in the top of the hill is covered with lava carried from Mt. Fuji.
They planted bamboo glasses and made small cave made by lava.
After climbing the Fujizuka, you can receive the certification the shrine office!

So today I will introduce Ukiyo-e depicting Mt. Fuji.
