 About this view
---------------

This camera streams from Grinpa amusement park at the 2nd Station on Mt Fuji's southern slope, roughly 1,200 m elevation in Susono City. It is the closest of all the live cams to the mountain itself: the summit is only about 11 km north-west, putting it 40 degrees or more above the horizon. Because the camera sits this high on Fuji's own slope, there is no lake, no city, no distant valley in the frame, just the mountain itself rising immediately above, with seasonal forest filling the foreground.

The high elevation puts this camera above many of the haze layers that affect city and lakeshore viewpoints, so clear-day visibility from here is exceptional. Early morning and late afternoon both produce strong lighting on the cone. Winter snow covers the entire foreground for the most dramatic frames. The trade-off: the high elevation means the camera itself can sit inside cloud during low-altitude storm systems, and summer afternoons frequently see thunderstorm cloud building directly above the lens.

  Frequently Asked Questions
--------------------------

   Is Mt Fuji usually visible from Grinpa?   Sitting at about 1,200 m on Fuji's own southern slope, this is the closest cam to the mountain, only around 11 km from the summit, and it sits above many of the haze layers that affect city and lakeshore viewpoints, so clear-day visibility is exceptional. The trade-off is that the camera can sit inside cloud during low storms, and summer afternoons often see thunderhead build directly above the lens. 

   When is the best time to catch a clear view on the Grinpa cam?   Both early morning and late afternoon light the cone well, and the high elevation keeps it clearer than lower viewpoints on hazy days. Winter snow blankets the foreground for the most dramatic frames. Avoid summer afternoons, when storm cloud frequently forms over the slope and can swallow the camera itself. 

   I am heading to Grinpa, can this cam tell me whether to go now?   Yes, with an access note: Grinpa is reached by the Fuji Skyline toll road, and the upper road is seasonal and weather-dependent. Because the cam sits high on the slope, a clear feed is a strong sign Fuji is out, but a clouded-in feed can simply mean the camera is inside a passing cloud. Cross-check today's forecast above before the drive up. 

   How does this view compare to other south-side cameras?   Grinpa is the closest to the mountain of any south-side camera, with Fuji filling much more of the frame. Fujinomiya and Lake Ashi give wider context with the mountain in the distance; Grinpa gives close-up cone detail with no horizon.
