【No. 0426】The Height of Mount Fuji

Feb 17, 2016 15:37
Mount Fuji is the highest mountain in Japan, and most Japanese people love this mountain.

Today, I will introduce information about the height of the Mount Fuji.

In 1885, the height of the Mount Fuji was 3778 meters.

However, the Great Kanto Earthquake struck in 1923.

As a result of the re-measurement three years later, the height became 3776 meters.

After that, we seemed to reinforce the summit part of the Mount Fuji with concrete, so as not to decrease the height any more.

For this reason, currently the height is still 3776 meters.
富士山の高さ

富士山は日本一高い山であり、多くの日本人は富士山を愛しています。

今日は、この富士山の高さに関する情報を紹介します。

1885年、富士山の高さは3778メートルでした。

しかし1923年に関東大震災があり、その3年後に再調査をしたところ3776メートルになっていました。

それからこれ以上標高が下がらないように、山頂部分がコンクリートで塗り固められたそうです。

そのおかげで現在も、3776メートルのままです。

I didn't know that! That is very interesting. I was just looking at a picture of Mt. Fuji from space. Beautiful.

Thank you very much for correcting my post!
The picture sounds nice :)
One of the reasons why we love Mt. Fuji is the nearly perfect conical shape.

  • You can say 'introduce information' but it's better and simpler just to say 'I will tell you about' or 'I will give you some information on' the height..

This march it will be five years since the Great East Japan earthquake. I hope that this will be the last big earthquake for the next hundred years.
