This course explores the cultural and historical aspects of Mt. Fuji. When Mt. Fuji was registered as a World Cultural Heritage in 2013, 25 properties were listed as its component parts. The component parts include worship sites, Sengen Jinjya shrines, “Oshi” lodging houses, historical ascending routes, lava tree molds, and the Five Lakes. The students will visit some of the component parts in the field study trips (3 times total, in April, May and July). The students are expected to read the designated reading materials. In the 3 day workshop trips, students will take a bus each time, departing from the iCLA building. The students will have to take a test at the end of the first field study trip, and the students are required to write reports based on the contents studied during the 3 field study trips.
