Mount Fuji is the highest mountain in Japan at 3776 meters. It is situated approximately 100 kilometres south-west of Tokyo. Uncertain if there would be a clear day to see Mount Fuji, I took this picture the second day I was in the area, in Motohakone at Lake Ashi, Hakone region. It was hidden behind clouds a day earlier and the weather was rainy the days afterwards.
