Mt. Pinatubo in Luzon, Philippines Mount Saint Helens in Washigton State

lol, this is homework qustion, isn't it? (it sure was mine once!)

well... in Shinto, the native religion of Japan, everything is said to have a spirit. Princess Asama was the spirit that lived within moun Fuji. She was the sun goddess (i think). She also had the power to make plants grow. But because Princess Asama was stuck in the mountain and coud not move, women were not allowed to climb mount Fuji incase princess Asama got jealous and erupted.

It affects worship... Well, there are many shrines to Princess Asama since she's basically what makes the mountain sacred.
