NFL Player and Mount Fuji
Featured Exhibition
Here is a collection of photos of Mount Fuji taken by NFL players during their visits to Japan.
Mount Fuji (3,776 meters / 12,389 feet) is Japan’s highest and most iconic peak, recognized worldwide as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Beyond its towering height, what makes Mount Fuji truly breathtaking is its magnificent, symmetrical stratovolcano shape standing independently without surrounding mountain ranges to obscure its view. For centuries, it has been revered not only as a natural wonder but also as a sacred spiritual site and a fountainhead of Japanese art and culture—reasons that continue to captivate visitors from across the globe.
Carl Lawson
This photo was taken from Lake Shoji. The smaller mountain overlapping in the foreground is Mount Omuro. Because giant Mount Fuji appears to be gently cradling the smaller mountain in front of it, this view from Lake Shoji is widely and affectionately known as “Kodaki Fuji” (literally “Child-cradling Fuji”).
Malik Turner
Malik Turner must have really fallen in love with Mount Fuji, as he posted photos taken from five different vantage points.
This one appears to have been taken near Lake Yamanaka.
This shot looks like it was captured from Shimoyoshida.
The last photo is from the famous Lawson Convenience Store near Kawaguchiko Station. This spot became a viral sensation among international tourists on social media because the store’s familiar blue sign creates an extraordinary contrast directly against the dramatic, towering backdrop of Mount Fuji.
Jackson Hawes
Here is another Mount Fuji shot taken from the popular Lawson Kawaguchiko Station location.
Evan Hull
The contrast between majestic Mount Fuji and Evan Hull and his wife is simply stunning.
Patrick Surtain II
With the bright Kochia (summer cypress) bushes visible at his feet, this photo was likely taken at Oishi Park by Lake Kawaguchiko.
JuJu Smith-Schuster
JuJu Smith-Schuster took his photo at Fuji-Q Highland. He originally visited the amusement park to check out the NARUTO attraction and made sure to snap a great shot of Mount Fuji while he was there.
Myles Garrett
As expected from someone who loves photography, Myles Garrett captured a beautifully framed shot of majestic Mount Fuji.
Levi Onwuzurike
Levi Onwuzurike also seems to have been captivated by Mount Fuji, sharing multiple photos from his trip.
This looks like the spectacular view right from his room at the hotel.
Another gorgeous view, likely from the same stay.
A lovely picture taken together with his partner.
The final picture in particular is truly magnificent.
We will keep updating this post as more photos become available!
