I can see Mt. Fuji from one spot in my school in the winter when the air is clear, and I saw it yesterday. I stood at the railing halfway up the stairs and just pointed, and lots of kids stopped and looked. They got all excited too! It was also beautifully covered with snow!
We used to be able to see it from the ground, but buildings have gone up between us and it, and now we have to be at least one floor up.
Why winter? Because spring, summer and early fall the air is too misty (or polluted). The winter meteorological pattern clears the air. Usually we can't see it till the end of December, so I enjoyed the sighting yesterday!
What beautiful scenery can you see near you?

The beauty of nature gives us an idea how God created it for us to be grateful and love his creation but man created buildings that sometimes hinder us to see it...hopefully next year you need not to go at a higher floor to enjoy seeing it again..

But I don't want the buildings to come down! I will just go up to the second floor.

Mt. Fuji, isn't that the most perfectly cone shape volcano we have here on Earth? Wow! Just farming fields here though fields is not rare I've seen beauty on them especially the way how they give us something in the table.

One of the most perfect ones but there are others, Mt. Mayon in your country for example. Also Japan has a smaller version of Fuji in Hakone area. They are all "composite" volcanoes which means they are alternating layers of lava and ashfall. So they can attain that beautiful shape.

Actually I think Mayon wins. From Wikipedia:
Mayon is a classic stratovolcano with a small central summit crater. The cone is considered the world's most perfectly formed volcano for its symmetry, which was formed through layers of lava flows and pyroclastic surges from past eruptions and erosion.

@petatonicsca So, it's our Mayon that occupy the top list regarding the cone shape. I thought it was Mt. Fiji and Mt. Mayon is the second. I'm quite not updated.
