1. Well .. you’re wrong and I think you know it.

2. It’ll really impress people if you say “Mount Fujiyama-san”

3. I remember when a volcano in Mexico got mentioned in Japanese news, and we were all collectively losing out minds (positively) because they were calling it Popocatepetl-san

4. Haha that’s funny, I never noticed that because mountain is also san/shan in some other Asian languages

5. さん in this case means simply ‘mountain’. Although if we are using honorifics, then Fuji is definitely a ‘she’ as she’s the Mother Mountain and a goddess.

6. Huh, learned something new here. 山 is read as -san when used as a place name (ex. Mt. in English).

7. Gj, you had a kindergarten level revelation…

8. Mr. Rich Samurai
