Mount Fuji Radar Dome Museum, Technology museum in Fujiyoshida, Japan.
The Mount Fuji Radar Dome Museum houses the original radar dome that once operated at the mountain's summit to monitor weather patterns. The facility displays this equipment alongside other meteorological instruments used to observe conditions across the mountain region.
The radar installation was placed at the summit in 1965 and served for about 35 years tracking storms and severe weather events. After it was moved to the valley in 2004, it became part of this museum to preserve its scientific legacy.
The museum shows how Japanese meteorologists studied Mount Fuji and its extreme weather conditions over many decades. Visitors can see the instruments and methods that helped scientists understand the mountain's harsh climate.
The museum works well for a brief visit if you have time between other activities in the region. The exhibits are arranged in a manageable space, so you can explore everything in roughly an hour.
Visitors can step into a simulator chamber that recreates the harsh conditions found at the summit, including intense winds and sub-freezing temperatures. This hands-on experience gives you a direct sense of what the technicians faced while working at such an extreme location.
