Mt. Fuji
This is the view of Mt. Fuji after some serious zoom work and a nice crop from the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco.
Just kidding. I would say something similar while heading south on the Golden Gate Bridge (天気がよければ右手の方によく見ると富士山が見えるでしょう) when I was a tour guide in San Francisco for a Japanese company. You’d be surprised how many customers I had who actually looked hard out the window to the west before I told them I was just joking.
Actually, this is from Lake Ashi (芦ノ湖) near Hakone. My camera was at only 35mm and there was no crop so you can see how impressive Fuji San is from this neck of the woods. We were tailing a boat very similar to the one we were on.

Magnificent! Not just Mt. Fuji, but the entire scene!
But why is the boat in front of you empty?

It probably wasn’t entirely empty. In our boat there were about 10 of us. Most went inside once we began because it was a bit cold. We were doing the Hakone round course backwards (clockwise instead of counterclockwise like the guidebooks say). It was still fairly early in the morning too.
