Born in the Shadow of Mt. Fuji

For me, Mt. Fuji isn't just a mountain โ€” it's part of my identity, my spirituality, and my daily life.

My goal is simple: show you the Mt. Fuji that locals know and love, not just what's in guidebooks and viral reels.

  • Cultural depth โ€” Understanding why Mt. Fuji matters to Japanese people
