When first built, the Mount Fuji Radar System was the world's highest weather radar (elevation 3,776 metres ), and could observe major weather phenomena, such as destructive 67:, and difficulty of construction, as it required the transport and assembly of some 500 tons of material during mountain's short summer. It operated at a frequency of 315: 90:
