Picture perfect Mount Fuji view on Shinkansen the Japanese Bullet Train Travel in Japan

Posters of Shinkansen running right in front of a picture perfect snow covered view of Mount Fuji is everywhere. In fact it is quite possible to see this in person on a sunny day. The Fuji Mountain is so big that it will fill up the window! It's an impressive symbol of the Japanese national pride much like the bold eagle for Americans. Mount Fuji view was the most stunning when we ride from Hakone to Osaka via Hikari Shinkansen ("light" bullet train free via JR pass.). It is a transient view of only 2 minutes on the right side. Our party missed most of it, so on the way back from Osaka to Tokyo, again via Hikari we tracked it the whole time using Google map (it's clearly marked). Mt. Fuji emerges soon after Shizuoka 静岡 on the left side. And this time it's again picture perfect though slightly smaller. People told us it's rare to see the entire body of Mount Fuji on such a cloudless clear day. We got lucky. See our Japan's Mount Fuji view on Shinkansen travel picture using iPhone below. We planned an entire trip to Lake Ashi to see Fujimi (Mt Fuji view) in vain, this really made us feel a whole lot better.
