And I couldn't get enough of this gorgeous mountain!
I saved a visit to the Fuji Five Lakes area for my second trip to Japan - and spent 3 nights in the area. Mount Fuji was clear and visible throughout our stay! Morning, afternoon and evening!
It was phenomenal! I read that Fuji-san is only visible about 80 days of the year. I guess we were lucky to have this majestic view for 4 consecutive days!
