The river arises from Mount Nokogiri in the Akaishi Mountains in northwest Yamanashi as the , and meets the Fuefuki River at the town of Ichikawamisato. There it changes its name to the Fuji River. It then flows around the west foot of Mount Fuji and into Suruga Bay at its mouth in the city of Fuji.
The banks of the Fuji River was the location of the Battle of Fujikawa in 1180, one of the most important early battles of the Genpei War. The Sengoku period warlord Takeda Shingen built extensive dikes along the Kamanashi portion of the river, which allowed water to flood buffer zones to control damage. These dikes still exist, and are called the . Flood control efforts continued under the Tokugawa shogunate of the Edo period, when extensive dikes were completed in 1674 after 50 years of construction, to divert the lower river away from populated areas, which were prone to flooding.
Water transportation up the river from Suruga Bay to inland Kai Province prospered in the Edo period and early Meiji period, until the opening of the Tōkaidō Main Line, Chūō Main Line and Fuji Minobu Railway railways. Commercial river transport ceased in 1923.
There are numerous dams for hydroelectric power generation and flood control along the various tributaries in the upper reaches of the river. The Fuji River also marks the divide of Japan's electrical grid, with the utility frequency of 50 hertz to the east, and 60 hertz to the west.
The view of the Tōkaidō Shinkansen train crossing the river against the background of Mount Fuji is a celebrated scene representative of Japan.

Sam Khok District

Sam Khok (, ) is a district ("amphoe") in the northern part of Pathum Thani Province, central Thailand, about 50 kilometres north of Bangkok.
History.
"Mueang" Sam Khok is an ancient city, dating to the early-Ayutthaya Kingdom. It was called "Thung Phaya Muang" before King Uthong established the kingdom in 1350. The first written evidence of its existence—the law on official seals dated 1632—occurs in the reign of King Prasat Thong".
In 1660, a group of Mon people migrated to Ayutthaya because they were oppressed by Burmese rule in their homeland. King Narai the Great provided the area of Mueang Sam Khok for them to establish a new town. Later a further immigration of Mon people to Thailand happened in the reign of King Taksin the Great in 1774 and King Phutthaloetla Naphalai (Rama II) in 1815. Some immigrants settled at Sam Khok, others moved to Pak Kret, Nonthaburi Province and Phra Pa Daeng, Samut Prakan Province.
In 1726 a book entitled, "Oud En Niew Oost-Indien" was published in Holland by the Dutch cartographer, De Groote. In it, De Groote's map called "Siamese Rievier Menam" describes Sam Khok as a "Potte Bakkers Drop" ('pottery-making village'). Sam Khok is still known for its Mon earthenware jars. The name "Sam Khok", meaning 'three mounds', refers to the three mounds used to produce jars.
When King Phutthaloetla Naphalai visited Sam Khok in 1815 for the "kathin" (Buddhist robe ceremony) and "rub bua" (lotus presentation) the local Mon people gave him many lotus flowers. Impressed by their devotion, the king renamed the city "Prathum Thani", meaning 'city of lotus'. At the same time, the king upgraded the city to a third-class city. King Vajiravudh (Rama VI) later renamed the city "Pathum Thani", but the meaning is unchanged.
King Chulalongkorn (Rama V) changed the status of the city to Sam Khok District in 1898.

Netafim Border Crossing

The Netafim Border Crossing () is a border crossing between Israel and Egypt. It is located adjacent to Highway 12, about 12 km north of Eilat, 1 km north west of Ein Netafim.
The control of the border crossing was handed over to the Israel Airports Authority in 1980; nowadays it is closed. Very seldom it is reopened under special circumstances.
There are plans to reopen the border crossing passage as alternative during festivals, in coordination with the Egyptian authorities.
The border line is guarded accurately on both sides, on the Israeli side alongside Highway 12 (one of the two accommodation roads to Eilat) by the Israel Border Police and on the Egyptian side from some army positions.
The border crossing is in the proximity of the Israel National Trail, but not exactly on the route, nevertheless many wanderers, who have lost their way, arrive at the border crossing to drink some water.
History.
Today's border crossing sits at the eastern end of a mountain pass used by important roads throughout history. The medieval hajj road to Mecca coming from Egypt and the Maghreb passed through here, meeting with the one coming from Syria a little to the southeast, at the town of Aylah - modern-day Aqaba, the twin city of Eilat. The road coming from Egypt had to cross through a mountain pass in Sinai named either 'Aqabat Aylah ("the ascent of 'Aylah), Naqb al-'Aqabah ("the mountain pass of Aqaba") or Ras an-Naqb ("the head/promontory of the mountain pass"). Netafim/Ras an-Naqb keeps its strategic importance until today. The Egyptian military has a base at what is commonly spelled in Egypt as Ras El Naqb, and there is also an airport located there.
It should not be confused other sites of the same name, some not far away, such as the Jordanian Ras an-Naqb in the desert between Petra and Aqaba, and the Ras en Naqb village north of Beersheba fought over during World War I.
At the end of the 1948-49 Arab–Israeli War, in the last day of Operation Uvda on March 10, 1949, the Negev Brigade captured the abandoned position of the Jordanian Arab Legion in Ras al-Naqb (Hebrew ראס אל-נקב), exactly where the Netafim border crossing is located today.
During the Suez Crisis in 1956, Ras al-Naqb was again one of the strategic positions important for gaining control of the Sinai Peninsula.
