Seasons And The Best Time To See Mount Fuji

Prior to my last trip to Japan in October 2015, I had visited Japan seven times and during those trips I had not been able to get a clear daytime view of Mount Fuji (whenever I was in its vicinity).

The first time I was able to see it was at night in 2004 while at Lake Kawaguchi for a fireworks festival.

My only time I was able to view it in daylight was during my 2015 trip while taking a Shinkansen train to Osaka.
