2. Good to know: winter air, direction and construction
Fuji is easiest to see on clear winter days, when the air is clean.
- Yokohama’s Konan Ward guide says that on clear winter mornings with clean air, Fuji can be seen from hilltop residential areas and parks (Konan Ward page on Mt. Fuji, Japanese).
- Some spots on the list are hard to use as viewpoints now. Yokohama Osanbashi Pier is left out of this page because its note says construction of buildings has made the view harder.
- If you go by car: Sengenyama Park has no general parking lot and Oyamada Green Space has few spaces, so public transport is what they recommend.
Night-view and observation-deck fees are covered in separate articles: night views in Kanto and observation decks in Tokyo (both Japanese).
