You don't have to go all the way to Hakone to see Mount Fuji! With these spots, you can admire Japan's highest mountain from the Tokyo area.

During the day, morning is the best time to see the volcano, as there is often less cloud cover, but many places are not yet open. If you want to see Mount Fuji from Tokyo, you can opt for a hotel with a view ! Bear in mind, however, that Mount Fuji is capricious and difficult to see, especially from as far away as Tokyo. You might have better luck from Kawaguchiko or Hakone! You may even catch a glimpse of it on your Shinkansen train journey between Tokyo and Kyoto! When you book your ticket with Japan Experience, choose a seat on the Mount Fuji side!

Yes, you can sometimes see Mount Fuji from the windows of Haneda airport! When the weather's clear, watch the planes take off and land with the Fujisan in the background. To do so, go to the 6th floor observation deck in Terminal 1.One of the other best views of Mount Fuji is... in the air ! Many flights to and from the west of the archipelago offer this spectacular view. Some pilots don't hesitate to warn passengers if the mountain is visible, so be sure to keep an eye out for it on your outward or return journey!

One of Tokyo's most famous high vantage points is the Tokyo Sky Tree. Reaching a height of 634 metres, it is the second-highest tower in the world. The first observatory is at 350 metres (Tembo Deck), while the second is at 450 metres (Tembo Galleria). These are the city's highest observatories, and the highest is the 9th highest observation deck in the world. To climb to the first observatory costs between 2,100 and 2,400 ¥ and to access both observation decks, count between 3,100 and 3,500¥ (tickets bought on the day are more expensive). There's also a café and a restaurant where you can enjoy the view with a bite to eat!

For 3,300¥, you have access to the two 360-degree viewpoints, where you can see the Tokyo Sky Tree, the cityscape, the Zojo-ji at the foot of the tower and sometimes even Mount Fuji!
