About
With a love for Mount Fuji.
Mt Fuji Today is created by Jonathan Holm and run privately as a personal project. The Android app is launched on Google Play on behalf of Flygi AB. We help travelers reach Mount Fuji by train, plan the right viewpoints, and decide when to go. The site combines live cameras, hourly visibility forecasts, and travel tools we use ourselves.
Make Mount Fuji easier to reach.
Mt Fuji Today was created by Jonathan Holm, a passionate Japan traveler who spent years exploring the country and helping others discover its most incredible places. It is built and paid for by one person and run privately, one clear day at a time. Whether you're planning your first trip to Japan or your tenth, we hope Mt Fuji Today helps you create unforgettable memories and experience Mount Fuji at its very best.
Honest visibility
One score, updated hourly, built from cloud cover, humidity and wind. We tell you when not to bother.
Traveler first
We plan the logistics ourselves. Train passes, viewpoints, stays and timing. We recommend what we would book for our own trips.
Free to use
Affiliate links on rail passes, hotels and tours fund the site keep us alive. They never move a viewpoint up the list or change a visibility score.
