Mount Fuji at Sunset

It’s impossible to pick a favorite moment of my time in Japan, but seeing Mt Fuji at sunset just might be at the top. It was a surprise bonus ending to an great afternoon on Enoshima Island where we explored shrines, shopped for omiyage and enjoyed the view from its highest point, near the Sea Candle tower.

It was at the top of Enoshima where we first saw a tiny glimpse of Fuji… hard to see at first, but exciting when I finally saw the outline of the famous mountain. I assumed that would be it for my Fuji experience, because a view of the mountain is notoriously hit or miss. You are never guaranteed to see it at all, so I was pretty pleased to catch it, even faintly.
