The top of Mount Fuji turns orange on Tuesday evening. The view is from Nagisa no Eki Tateyama in Tateyama, Chiba Prefecture, located in a straight line 110 kilometers from the country’s highest mountain.
As the setting sun approaches the peak, the mountain’s silhouette appears to rise from the water and the peak shines orange like a diamond, a phenomenon known as ‘Diamond Fuji’.
Nagisa no Eki is a tourist facility with an observation deck that offers beautiful views of the tranquil Tateyama Bay.
Diamond Fuji moves gradually southwest along the city’s coastline and can be seen Wednesday from National Park Resort Kyukamura Tateyama; from the Sunosaki Lighthouse on May 25; from Aihama Port on May 31 and from Merasaki Shrine on June 2.
