Mount Fuji, at 12,388 feet, is Japan's highest, most sacred mountain, inspiring 200,000 visitors and climbers each year.

Beginning Wednesday, the academy will host events about Mount Fuji and Hokusai, beginning with director Stephen Little's members-only talk at 6 p.m. Coming up: a Gallery Talk series, Hokusai seminars, daily tours, a Japanese film series and a "View from the Top" Family Sunday. www.honoluluacademy.org.

NOAH’S ARK REPLICA AN ATTRACTION FOR ALL AGES

Hong Kong might be the last place to go looking for Noah's Ark. According to the Bible, after the great flood, it came to rest on Mount Ararat, in eastern Turkey.

But beneath Hong Kong's giant Tsing Ma Bridge, a life-size replica built from biblical specifications includes a museum, a garden and an outdoor activity center.

Moreover, the attraction shares space with exhibits on the scientific evidence for climate change and the next great flood.

Noah's Ark is open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily. Admission is $13, and $11 for ages 3-11 and seniors. www.noahsark.com.hk.
