Mount Fuji

On route from Kyoto to Tokyo - we finally managed to catch a glimse of the notoriously shy mount Fiji… it was almost sun down and the sun was catching the towering peak of the mountain, and it was enormous..! Aparantly when it last erupted back in 1710 it covered the streets of Tokyo in ash & Tokyo is 100miles away.

It was so high and it cut through the clouds in such a way that it was as though it was a huge mountain in the sky. After seeing buildings that were some of the tallest in the world we did not expect something so breathtaking. Definitely in the top 10 of sights so far.

And here it is again, popping out from the top of the clouds - but this time we captured it from one of the tall skyscrapers in Tokyo.
