You step into the van in Tokyo before dawn and the city peels away into highway light. The silhouette of Mt. Fuji first appears as a pale cone on the horizon, then grows taller and clearer as the van climbs toward Lake Kawaguchi.

By midmorning you’re parked at a waterfront viewpoint where the air tastes like cold spring water and photographers line the shore aiming for a flawless reflection.
