Is Tanbo Fuji (Rice Paddy Reflection of Mount Fuji) happening right now?
As of today, out of season, returns ~April. Earth Exhibit tracks the live conditions and flags it the moment it is on.
When flooded rice paddies at the foot of Mount Fuji hold calm water in spring, they create near-perfect reflections of the mountain.
This seasonal phenomenon is a combination of agricultural timing and calm weather, prized by photographers for clean, symmetrical shots of Fuji framed by paddies and rural structures.
