There was the first flower I saw last year at this time.
It is the flower "FUJIAZAMI."
Although it is a flower of a thistle with a huge rose head, since it was very impressive, it has gone to meet this year also.
Then, FUJIAZAMI pickled such a brilliant flower.
FUJIAZAMI is a perennial herbaceous plant of the department of a chrysanthemum, and in a Japanese thistle, a flower with a biggest purplish red color of about 8cm is pickled, and if a stock will become big, it will be set to about 1m.

Posted by junior on September 8th, 2008

The English name for the new airport which will be open in spring 2009 has been decided to Shizuoka Airport. Although its Japanese nickname is "Mount Fuji Shizuoka Airport", the "Mount Fuji" part was not admitted as the official name by Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT).
The abbreviation will be FSZ, which came from "Fuji" and "Shizuoka".

As the number of climbers increased in the past few decades, human waste became the biggest problem of Mount Fuji. When the amount of waste exceeded the disposal capacity of the mountain's toilet system, undecomposed toilet papers were discharged on the mountain, which people called "White River".
To solve this problem, which is essential to become a UNESCO World Heritage, the mountain's toilets have been dramatically improved. The types of high-technology toilets installed on Mount Fuji include Incineration-method toilet, oyster-shell-method toilet, and biotoilet.
