On January 5, Manuel took us to Fujiyoshida, a town close to Mount Fuji. We were hoping for a clear view of Mount Fuji but unfortunately the clouds had different plans. We went to Lake Kamaguchi where we had a great view but the clouds did not allow us to see anything.
We then went to Fujisan World Heritage Centre where we learned a lot about Mount Fuji, how it got formed, the religious importance for the local people and much more! It is a great visit while in the area.
Later in the afternoon we went back to Lake Kamaguchi for one more chance to see Mount Fuji and we got rewarded by mother nature. We had a good view, not completely clear but good enough to take a few good pictures of this magnificent mountain.
It’s very rare to see Mount Fuji without clouds around it.
Yes, apparently it is very rare, however there were two o three days we were far away from it we were able to see it very clear, but of course the day we are just next to it, it is cloudy!
