I'm trying to work on my travel essay, which is about mount fuji. The introduction is killing me! I really don't know what to write x_x I always suck at the intros. Although, I use to be good at them, once upon a time. I have my intro done but I don't like how it sounds. Something just doesn't feel right.

Each year thousands of Japanese and foreign tourists flock to the slopes of Mount Fuji to embark on an age old tradition of climbing this sacred volcano. Although technically not a World Heritage Site yet, Mount Fuji is well on its way to finally being recognized by UNESCO. Mount Fuji is more than just a volcano; it is a central part of the Japanese way of life and is rich in history. This majestic mountain has also shaped much of the culture of the people, particularly the locals and artists. However, sadly for many years the environment of Mount Fuji has been neglected.
