Mount Fuji

Yaezu Shizuoka富士山

A recent trip east to a hot spring afforded distant views of Mount Fuji.

Japan's iconic mountain - a volcano waiting to blow, according to experts - can be seen in the distance.

It has been warm in eastern Japan this fall and early winter, so only the peak is covered in snow. Normally, the entire mountain would be white by this time of year.

This photo is taken from a hot spring in Yaezu, Shizuoka.

The area is known for its balmy climate, fabulous sea food, fresh produce - and of course its views of Mt. Fuji.

While at the hot spring, an annual "mama chari" bicycle race took place near Fuji-san.
