Will Shizuoka's Only "Double Diamond Fuji" Return This Year? Early Mornings From August 20 Offer the Best Chance at Lake Tanuki, Fujinomiya
At Kyukamura Fuji on the shore of Lake Tanuki in Fujinomiya, Shizuoka Prefecture, sunrise aligns with the summit of Mount Fuji to create "Diamond Fuji" only twice a year, in April and August. Early mornings from August 20 offer this year's best chance to see it, and when conditions align, Mount Fuji's reflection on the lake's surface creates the rarer "Double Diamond Fuji."
