A Mount in Japan with four names?

Question:


おはようございます。

From a too pleasant Japanese culture one hour documentary film, I did learn that there stands a mountain which is known by an unique wonderful name every single season, only I cannot truly remember which Mount it is, but I would like it very much to. Thus, I would appreciate it very much if you could just help me to.

ありがとうございます。

Answer:


It could most probably be Mt. Fuji.
This world famous mountain is revered and loved by the Japanese from ancient times and surrounding locals they affectionately call the mountain different names according to season and time of the day.
Off hand, the other names for the mountain are "Aka Fuji" (Red Fuji), "Sakasa Fuji"(Mirrored Fuji on a lake), "Ura Fuji" (Fuji as viewed from Yamanasi Prefecture).
