Mt. Fuji (富士山) is the most iconic symbol of Shizuoka.
During the official climbing season from July to September, you can see the mountain without snow. The first snow usually falls around October.
From around March, spring haze often covers the area, so there are many days when Mt. Fuji cannot be seen. In other words, it’s not always visible.
But that’s exactly what makes it special.
When Mt. Fuji finally appears, it’s a breathtaking sight—no matter how many times you see it. At sunset, the mountain glows in soft shades of pink, creating a magical and unforgettable moment.
