The straight line distance from Mt. Fuji to Tateyama is approximately 110 km. The distance between Mt. Fuji and Tokyo Station is exactly 100km, so it's a little further away than that. Although Mt. Fuji can be seen from the city center, it is only visible between buildings or over the roofs of houses. However, although the distance is almost the same, Mt. Fuji seen from Tateyama looks surprisingly large across the ocean. It seems that because there is no object in front to compare, things in the distance appear larger.
