Views of Mount Fuji

Japan's most iconic mountain, arguably the most-recognized volcano in the world, is an elusive presence on Tokyo's horizon.  Between frequent cloud cover and the jumble of buildings, it stays out of sight more often than not.
Then you'll have a clear blue sky and a clear line of sight, and it will stop you in your tracks.

All it takes is a few floors off the ground and a gap in the buildings
