Fuji from afar

Once autumn and (especially) winter arrive, Mount Fuji is often visible from Tokyo. You aren’t going to catch a glimpse of the majestic mountain when you are just walking down the street, but from a decent vantage point, some pretty fine views can be had.

And if you happen to live in a luxurious high-rise apartment downtown, you may be lucky enough to look upon this wonderful sight from your no doubt spacious balcony.

Not to be outdone however, I found that by standing on my tiptoes and looking through the top corner of my living room window, Fuji-san was visible in all its hazy, distant, and electrical wire obscured glory.
