If you take the shinkansen from Tokyo in direction of Nagoya , Kyoto and Osaka , the best view of the mountain can be enjoyed from around Shin-Fuji Station on the right hand side of the train, about minutes into the journey. Note however, that clouds and poor visibility often block the view of Mount Fuji, and you have to consider yourself lucky if you get a clear view of the mountain.
Visibility tends to be better during the colder seasons of the year than in summer, and in the early morning and late evening hours than during the middle of the day. If you want to enjoy Mount Fuji at a more leisurely pace and from a nice natural surrounding, you should head to the Fuji Five Lake Fujigoko region at the northern foot of the mountain, or to Hakone , a nearby hot spring resort. Mount Fuji is officially open for climbing during July and August via several routes. Ask in our forum.

In , Tatsu and five other men reached the summit without incident, and that's why she's said to be the first woman to climb Mt.
