You step out of an air-conditioned vehicle and the mountain takes over the sky — Mount Fuji's cone rises like a quiet judge, its peak often capped in snow and framed by the Fuji Five Lakes. Early light slices across Lake Kawaguchi while visitors click shutters at the Lawson storefront with the mountain staged behind it; farther up, the 5th Station offers wind-cooled air and a vantage point that pulls the eye to ridgelines and lowlands.
