Flying from Seoul to Tokyo, I knew to request a window seat on the right side of the plane. I asked the flight attendant what time we would be flying near Mt Fuji -- and precisely at that time, it came into view. For a Japanese person, it's always a spiritual experience when one sees Fuji-san (san means mountain in this case). But when you see it from an unexpected angle, it's extraordinary.
next year!
Nothing worse than being on the wrong side.
