Went to Japan in November and wasn’t able to see Mt Fuji in the distance like you can quite often from the capital city, Tokyo due to a build-up of smog, which was a bit disappointing. However, saw other high mountains later on in the trip while visiting Takanawa and Nagano. The weather was mild.
Looks like you got a good shot of Mt Fuji, 3,775m on a beautiful, cool clear day in early spring in early March of perfect preportions with the surrounding landscape, with its snow-capped top and a small, lenticular cloud hat at the very top. The foreground colours are quite monochrome in different shades of dark blue in comparison to the sky and mountain.
