This photo taken on August 31, 2023 shows two visitors resting at the fifth stage on the slopes of Mount Fuji, Japan's highest peak at 3,776 metres (12,388 feet). With its millions of visitors every year and the buses, supply trucks, noodle shops and fridge magnets, Mount Fuji is no longer the peaceful, nature-filled pilgrimage site it once was.
