bare 'Fuji' in compounds

用法筆記

In English, the mountain is almost always referred to as 'Mount Fuji' in full, formal contexts. Using bare 'Fuji' alone (without 'Mount') is common in compound phrases such as 'view of Fuji', 'the slopes of Fuji', or 'Fuji's summit', but sounds unnatural as a standalone subject ('*Fuji is tall' → 'Mount Fuji is tall'). In Japanese, the name 'Fuji-san' (with honorific suffix) is the standard form.

💡bare 'Fuji' as a standalone subject or object sounds unnatural in English; include 'Mount'.
❌Fuji-san is the highest mountain in Japan.

💡'Fuji-san' is the Japanese name; in an English sentence, use 'Mount Fuji'.
