There are 108 active volcanoes in the country of Japan, which represent approximately 10 percent of the world's total. Mount Fuji is Japan's highest mountain and its most famous volcano. It is located just west of Tokyo and it has an elevation of 12,388 feet.
You'll recall that the so-called "ring of fire" runs down through Japan, an into the Philippines before turning over toward the Indonesian area. Active volcanoes are found in many places along the ring of fire.
