About Mount Fuji
Mount Fuji, at 3,776 metres the highest mountain in Japan, rises above the Fuji Five Lakes on its northern side in Yamanashi. The peak is often hidden by cloud, especially in summer, while cold winter mornings bring the clearest views and a full snowcap. These Mount Fuji live cams come from Kawaguchiko Cable Television, the local broadcaster in Fujikawaguchiko town.
Which Mount Fuji webcam to check first
Start with Lake Kawaguchi for the classic view across the water. Oishi Park adds the north shore gardens, Lake Yamanaka looks at the mountain from the east and Lake Shoji from the quieter west. If one view is cloudy, the others can show whether the summit is clear.
Before you go to Mount Fuji
Check the Japan Meteorological Agency forecast before a day trip; the summit is often clear early and gone by midday. The official climbing season runs from early July to early September.
Live cameras and modelled weather can be delayed, incomplete or offline. Check official weather, access and safety information before you make plans.
