Introducing Mt Fuji
On clear days, particularly in winter, Mt Fuji (Fuji-san in Japanese) is visible from as far as Tokyo, 100km away. When Japan’s highest mountain (3776m) is capped with snow, it’s a picture-postcard perfect volcanic cone.

For much of the year you need to be closer, and even then the notoriously shy mountain is often covered in haze or cloud. Autumn and spring are your next best bets for Fuji-spotting, yet even during these times the mountain may be visible only in the morning before it retreats behind its cloud curtain.
