Well next time you're there, let Hiroshige be your guide: http://www.hiroshige.org.uk/hiroshige/36_views_fuji_1858/fuji_1858.htm
I utterly loathe, despise, hate and condemn all books whose title is along the lines of '500 X you must Y before you die'. I will never read, let alone buy, a book like that, unless it's '500 Bucket-list books you must burn before you go postal'. I'll decide what I must or must not do, not some feckwit in a publisher's marketing department.
