Its one of japans three holy mountains (Fuji, Tate, Haku) so its always been an important symbol for the Japanese nation for centuries. The traditional religion of Japan is shintoism and many pilgrims (it used to be mainly monks) used to and still do climb the mountain for the temples.

Probably a more modern reason is that the Japanese nation feel united as a whole (hence foreigners are still a bit of a novelty out there) and Fuji-san is a symbol that unites them as a nation and represents them
