Hi,
That is an excellent sunset shot of Mt Fuji allset2travel!
My last 2 stays at Hilton Tokyo Bay have been on the Park side ( did get a view of Mt Fuji at sunset from the room in Jan 2017 but it was more hazy than your photos. Did see Mt Fuji in the morning in Dec 19 from the Celebrio lounge terrace and sea wall and a dusk view on climb out from HND to HKG on Cathay Pacific.
Regards

I noticed that winter time sky is clearer than summer time, typically speaking. I was fortunate to have the corner room (end room to the right of the hotel when facing the Bay).
Talking about flying near Mt Fuji, on one of my NRT-DEL flights, I lucked out in the capture of this shot below (I had posted it somewhere else, not sure where?):

Hi,
Beautiful shot of Mt Fuji. When I was there ( late November and early January) I generally found the views to be much clearer in the early part of the morning as light clouds started to block the view from central tokyo later on so a sunset view was rarer ime than morining photos ( did see Mt Fuji at dusk from CX HND-HKG)
View of Mt Fuji taken early December 2019 from the terrace of the Celebrio lounge at Hilton Tokyo Bay (for 5 straight days before that whilst I was in central Tokyo ( Hilton) it was overcast and rainy in parts
Mt Fuji taken from the seawall promenade across the road from Hilton Tokyo Bay ( Dec 19)
This was the view from my room in Jan 2017 ( you can just make out Mt Fuji) -it was clearer in real life and the ealier photos had a sun glare spot ( taken with an older camera) but the views across the bay were great ( you could also see aircraft climb out from HND

I stayed at the Sheraton and Hilton out there in the bay a few times (all seasons), never had I seen Tokyo sky this clear. (as shown in your pics) Most times when I knew the weather was gojng to be clear, I headed out to TMGB and tried my luck!
