Mount Fuji Spring 富士山の春 Japan [4K]

Mount Fuji (富士山, Fujisan), with 3776 meters is Japan’s highest mountain. It is an active volcano most recently erupted in 1707. It stands on the border between Yamanashi and Shizuoka Prefectures and can be seen from Tokyo and Yokohama on clear days. That is why so many people refer to Tokyo as where Mount Fuji is located.

Sinkansens from Tokyo in the direction of Nagoya, Kyoto and Osaka, have the best views of the mountain around Shin-Fuji Station on the right hand side of the train, about 40-45 minutes into the journey.

But beware of a cloudy day as poor visibility often blocks the view of Mount Fuji, and you have to consider yourself lucky if you get a clear view of the mountain. Visibility tends to be better during the colder seasons.

Luckily the weather was perfectly clear on the two occasions I filmed the beautiful mountain at Lake Kawaguchi (my earlier video published in March called “Mount Fuji Sunset” and this one published in May the next day after I filmed it, as I couldn’t wait any longer to see the result !).

Enjoy watching the clouds dancing at the peak…….
