Finally caught a glimpse of Mount Fuji

Do you know Mount Fuji is only visible ~80 days a year?! 😳🗻

I stayed in Fuji for 3 nights and was low-key nervous… but on the LAST day, the clouds finally cleared and I got a full, unblocked view of Mount Fuji 🥹✨

So grateful and honestly… JAW-DROPPING doesn’t even begin to describe it 🤍🤍🤍

If you’re planning to spend a few days in the Fuji area, I highly recommend staying at Fuji View Hotel 🏨🗻 — great location and perfect for Fuji chasing!

Here are a few must-do’s around the area 👇👇

1️⃣ Hakone day trip ♨️🌿

Perfect for a chill small-town vibe, onsen hopping, and slowing down for a day.

2️⃣ Gotemba Premium Outlets 🛍️🔥 (MUST GO)

Shopping heaven if you love good deals 😮‍💨

Spent 3–4 hours here and scored amazing finds at Bottega & Ralph Lauren — SO worth it.

3️⃣ Fuji Safari Park 🦁🐯 (ANOTHER MUST)

For about $30, you get a real safari experience 🚙

Seeing lions and tigers up close was honestly surreal 😳

4️⃣ Rent a bike 🚲🗻

Cycle around and hunt for different spots to catch Mount Fuji from every angle — pure joy 💙

Mt. Fuji view at Lake Yamanaka
It rained for two days, and I thought I wouldn’t see Mount Fuji this time. But in the afternoon, the clouds lifted, and there it was at the edge of Lake Yamanaka — still and stunning, like a belated gift. #mountfuji #lakeyamanaka #luckymoment #travel 昨天和今天都在下雨,天空一直藏着它的身影。 直到下午,云层

The other side of Mt Fuji!
To be honest, I was shocked that I did all of it in one day, when such an itinerary can be covered comfortably in two days, I also spent 7000¥ to take a cab to get the view of Obuchi Sasaba In case y’all are wonder when I went here - it was mid March, so there was a 50-60% chance of clear weathe
