Best Times & Spots to See Mount Fuji’s Stunning Views – Updated Guide

March 30th – Reporting live from Lake Kawaguchi as a former Mount Fuji refugee! The majestic peak graced us with a fleeting 30-second appearance before vanishing into the mist. After yesterday’s relentless drizzle, I’d nearly given up hope of seeing Fuji-san today. Who knew that glimpse from Owakudani in Hakone on the 22nd would become this trip’s most breathtaking Fuji moment?

My perfectionist streak got the better of me – I was so busy grumbling about that pesky window barrier that I didn’t even snap a single photo!

But let me tell you about the silver lining – Fuji Garden’s open-air onsen was pure magic! The steamy waters brought back all those nostalgic (and slightly awkward) public bath memories from years gone by.

Speaking of memories, there’s a heartbreaking situation upstairs – a poor little one cried through the night like clockwork: midnight, 3 AM, 5:30 AM… I heard every whimper. What really shattered my heart? The father’s harsh “get out” shouts. Some people really shouldn’t be entrusted with parenthood.

——8:56 AM MIRACLE UPDATE——
Ladies and gentlemen, the skies have parted! Mount Fuji has emerged in all her glory – no more refugee status for me! Don’t miss Pic 2 – this is the view we’ve all been waiting for!
