What visit to Japan would be complete without a visit to see the snow-capped peak of Mount Fuji? Nestled slightly off the beaten path of the Shinkansens, I did find it was not 'as' easy to get to directly as I would have expected. One of the best observation points is from the town of Fujikawaguchiko-machi (surrounded by the beautiful Lake Kawaguchi). From town you can take either a trail or a gondola up to the top of Mt. Kachi Kachi. From atop the mountain, you will have a breath-taking view of the world famous Mount Fuji, in all it's glory. This photo was taken in early March, when the Cherry Blossom trees were in full bloom, and snow still glistened from the peaks of the majestic mountain. The air is crisp at this time of year, and though it can be quite sunny, you may also risk heavy cloud cover which may obstruct your view of the mountain, along with bringing some spring showers as well.
