Frequency of symptoms is rated on a Likert scale: 0 points: âneverâ, 1 point: âa few times (1-3 times a year)â, 2 points: âseveral times (4-12 times a year)â, 3 points: âquite often (on average, more than once a month)â and 4 points: âvery often (on average more than once a week)â. Total score aims to figure out the severity of dizziness.
The highest peak in Japan (3,776 meters (12,385 feet)), Mt. Fuji is a relatively young volcano. The mountain is said to have reached its present shape about 5,000 years ago, but even since then, it has repeatedly erupted, and those eruptions since the dawn of history can be found on record.
Three-fourths of Japan is covered by mountains, and tall mountain ranges run roughly through the center of the Japanese archipelago like a spine. In central Honshu, Japan's main island, rises the majestic Japan Alps, a chain of mountains reaching 3,000 meters (approximately 9,800 feet) high. Between the Japan Alps and Tokyo lies Mt. Fuji, a beautiful, conical peak that is the country's tallest mountain at 3,776 meters (12,390 feet). It slopes very gently toward the foot, however, and the entire area around the base is a national park. In the summer many people climb to the top of Mt. Fuji.
