Sample August 2026
Mount Fuji from Lake Tanuki
Fujinomiya, Shizuoka · Nature
The classic head-on view of Fuji across the water. On a windless morning the whole mountain is mirrored in the lake.

Sample August 2026
Yumigahama Beach, Minami-Izu
Minami-Izu, Shizuoka · Sea
A bow-shaped stretch of sand in a sheltered cove. Busy with swimmers in summer; the rest of the year only the waves and the pines move.

Still image
Mount Fuji erosion-control cameras
Fuji, Shizuoka · Volcano · Nature
Cameras watching the slopes of Fuji, including the Osawa landslide scar. Not built for sightseeing, which is exactly why the mountain looks unstaged.

Sample August 2026
Mount Fuji (JMA camera)
Shizuoka / Yamanashi border · Volcano · Nature
This site also carries the ministry's erosion-control cameras on Fuji; this one was placed by the Meteorological Agency to watch the volcano. Different purpose, different aim.

Sample August 2026
Izu East volcano group
Ito, Shizuoka · Volcano · Sea
A cluster of monogenetic volcanoes with small craters scattered on land and under the sea. A 1989 submarine eruption off Ito built the Teishi Knoll.
When to watch
Mount Fuji from Lake Tanuki is the classic head-on view across water. On a windless morning the mountain lands whole on the surface. If you want the inverted reflection, the window is just after sunrise, before the wind gets up.
Fuji shows itself best when the air is dry, from November through February. In summer there is too much moisture, and there are stretches where it only appears in the early morning. Snow usually starts capping it between late September and October and lingers into around June.
The erosion-control camera was installed by the ministry to watch for landslides, the Meteorological Agency camera to watch volcanic activity. Neither is there for the view, which is exactly why the three framings differ so much.
