  • A text of the 9th century, Tale of the Bamboo Cutter, says that the name came from "immortal" (不死, fushi, fuji) and also from the image of abundant (富, fu) soldiers (士, shi, ji) ascending the mountain slopes, +1 point.
  • An early folk etymology claims that Fuji came from 不二 (not + two), meaning without equal or nonpareil, +1 point.
  • Another claims that it came from 不盡 (not + to exhaust), meaning never-ending, +1 point.
  • Scientists have identified four distinct phases of volcanic activity in the formation of Mount Fuji, +1 point.
  • Approximately 100,000 years ago, "Old Fuji" was formed over the top of Komitake Fuji. The modern, "New Fuji" is believed to have formed over the top of Old Fuji around 10,000 years ago, +1 point. 
  • The volcano is classified as "active", +1 point.

  • Connects San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean, +1 point.
  • Since 1937, has been spanned by the Golden Gate Bridge, +2 points!
  • The Golden Gate is the site of over 100 shipwrecks, +1 point. (because everybody loves a good sea story!)
  • The area around the strait and the bay was inhabited by Native Americans – the Ohlone people to the south and Coast Miwok to the north. Descendants of both tribes remain in the area, +2 points!
  • On July 1, 1846, before the discovery of gold in California, the entrance acquired a new name. In his memoirs, John C. Frémont wrote: "To this Gate I gave the name of 'Chrysopylae', or 'Golden Gate'; for the same reasons that the harbor of Byzantium was called Chrysoceras, or Golden Horn." He went on to comment that the strait was "a golden gate to trade with the Orient", +1 point.
  • The bridge was the longest suspension bridge span in the world when completed in 1937 and is an internationally recognized symbol of San Francisco and the state of California, + 2 points!
  • Remains second longest in the United States, after the Verrazzano–Narrows Bridge in New York City, +2 points!

Total points: 11 (& and that's an accumulation of two Wikipedia pages, Golden Gate and Golden Gate Bridge)

Mount Fuji wins this round. 

Edit: I would not want to live in a world without the Golden Gate Bridge, but also Mount Fuji is natural, not man-made! (like Golden Gate as is)
