Morning light here is surgical: highways unfurl out of Tokyo, the city receding as Mount Fuji grows from round hill to perfect cone on the horizon. A private car hums along the expressway, windows down to let in cool altitude air, and the guide times each stop for the best angles — lakes grab the mountain’s reflection, retro streets frame it between telephone poles, and hidden piers offer a calm, mirror-flat foreground.
