Who Truly Owns Mount Fuji? Exploring Japan’s Beloved Icon & Cultural Heritage

What an incredible stroke of luck! I witnessed Mount Fuji in all its glory with less than 10% cloud cover – a rare sight that occurs only a handful of times each year.

The weather forecast had predicted poor visibility the previous day, but I decided to take a chance thinking, “I’ve come this far, why not try?” And fortune smiled upon me! The majestic peak emerged in perfect clarity, its snow-capped summit glowing against the blue sky. Absolutely breathtaking! 🗻

That magical moment when Fuji-san revealed herself in full splendor will stay with me forever. The way the morning light danced across her slopes was simply unforgettable!
