What is the highest mountain in Japan?

The highest mountain in Japan is Mt. Fuji.  It is located in the north part of Shizuoka, and in the south west of Yamanashi prefecture.  Mt. Fuji is an active volcano.  It has not erupted for about 300 years.  Mt. Fuji is almost perfectly cone-shaped mountain.  You can see it from the window of the Shinkansen, the Japanese bullet train in Shizuoka prefecture. 

It has been a long time since I wrote the last article.

I was so busy to prepare for an English writing test of national qualification of tour guide.  I finally took the primary exam at the end of August in Kyoto.  Now I have to prepare for the oral examination in second-stage examination.

This second-stage examination can be taken by people who would pass the first-stage exam.  We can know the result of the first-stage exam on mid October.  So it means that I have to prepare for second-stage without knowing whether I can take it or not.

I surmise the I made a few mistakes in the first-stage exam.  However I am afraid that I wrote ill-directed answers especially in English writing. 

Anyway, I will read a lot of things Japanese and write answers to the anticipated questions and ask someone to correct my writings.  I will post all I write with a lot of picture so you can enjoy viewing.
