Long time no Fuji
Normally Mount Fuji is not usually visible from Tokyo, mainly due to the omnipresent heat haze, but despite being a very hot day today it has been quite windy, meaning the air is very clear, and Japan's highest mountain can just about be seen poking up from behind some clouds.

For comparision this is what it looks like on a clear day in winter:

Yup :). Although I do have to lean out of the balcony and use maximum zoom.

What part of Tokyo is this from?

The general vicinity of Mejiro. The two tall buildings in the middle distance are north of Nakano Station, I think.

If geologists ever start saying a Fuji eruption is imminent, you know you have to buy a video camera and take a week off of work, camped out on your balcony, don't you?
