Konnichiwa! Going to Japan in two weeks time. I lived in Nagoya in the mid 1990s, and have travelled back to Japan about 15 times - but have never seen anything more than the base of the great mountain. I want to break the curse this time! We will be one night in Hakone and two nights in Tokyo. If we donft get a clear day in Hakone but do in Tokyo, from which tall building in Tokyo provides the best view of Fuji? I have heard some differing views on this. Thanks!

Tokyo Metropolitan Government Bldg in Shinjuku. The observation deck is free. Mt Fuji is viewable on very clear days only.

Thanks ITO! Related question - when it IS a very clear day, is Fuji a small speck on the horizon when viewed from the building, or is it a bit better than that? In some of the online photos I have seen it appears that Fuji is quite large when viewed from Tokyo, but perhaps some of those are a manipulation? Basically my question boils down to - is it worth going up the building for a view of Fuji if the weather cooperatesc. Or not

Mt. Fuji can be seen from various parts of Greater Tokyo. Even from commuter trains or hills in residential areas. Where would you be staying? If you're staying in Shinjuku, I agree with the other poster.

You have been in Japan 16 times and have only ever seen the "base." Did you only look on cloudy days??

Couldabeen As I said I lived in Nagoya, and when we go back we tend to visit Nagoya (family) and Kansai. I have been to Tokyo 5-6 times, for perhaps a total of 10-12 days. And usually outside winter (when the weather is clearer and views of Fuji are better). So yes, whether in Tokyo or travelling to or from Tokyo via shinkansen I have unluckily never seen more than the base of Fuji. The mid to upper parts of the mountain have always been in cloud. Hopefully I am lucky this time.

Fuji from my apartment, on the train, from many spots around Tokyo - there are hundreds. Fuji is even visible from Nagoya!

Are you sure? If you are, I seriously would like to know how, because that's the one thing I miss every time I visit the city.
