When the day is perfect to view Mt Fuji, you will be surprised it looks so close to Tokyo and how immense it is.
Wakasu Seaside Park.
This park next to Tokyo gate bridge in Koto city is considered as the best place to see Mount Fuji in Tokyo.
You can see Mount Fuji in between the bridge and the water, and it is especially beautiful near sunset. If you are lucky, you can see Diamond Fuji which means the sun sits on the top of Mount Fuji and Mount Fuji shines like a diamond. You can also see it with the sunrise on the west side of Mount Fuji, and sunset on the east side.
The South end of the park is the best place to view Mount Fuji. It could be cold with the wind in winter so don’t forget to wear enough clothes.
Haneda Airport International Terminal.
If you get out to the observation deck at the 5th floor, you can see Mount Fuji along with Tama river and Tokyo monorail, opposite to the aeroplane leaving and landing area.
The deck opens for 24 hours, so if you are there early morning Mount Fuji in sunrise is especially outstanding.

How often you can see Mt Fuji clearly?
My home town is the city called Numazu, Shizuoka. The prefecture Mount Fuji is. When I go back home and stay for about 2 weeks, we may have one or two days we can see Mount Fuji without any clouds. The mountain is often hiding behind the clouds, so we can only see part of it or cannot see at all.
It is a special and beautiful mountain, and I hope you can have a chance to see it sometime in your stay!
