View the actual radar dome that operated at the Mount Fuji summit and challenge yourselves with a subzero mountain-peak cold experience
About this spot
An interactive museum featuring a weather radar dome that once stood at the Mount Fuji summit, where it served as an observation post for typhoon tracking while protecting Japan's skies. The white spherical dome gleaming on the rooftop commands impressive presence as the real thing, and exhibits inside trace the stories of those who undertook the challenge of constructing a radar facility at the world's highest altitude. The popular feature is the cold experience corner recreating the temperatures and winds of the Mount Fuji summit, where even in midsummer, both of you might shriek at the subzero world—creating lasting memories. As the finale to your photo stroll, this spot lets you view Mount Fuji anew through the lens of science.
Tips
Located immediately next to Michi-no-Eki Fujiyoshida with shared parking, so moving between them is easy. Bring a light layer for the cold experience. Closing hours are somewhat early, so allow time for afternoon entry. With indoor exhibits as the focus, you can enjoy it regardless of weather.
Best time to visit
Approximately 1 hour 15 minutes. Even late afternoon is enjoyable since it's indoors and weather-independent.
