Gotenba's air quality reflects the Shizuoka Prefecture Mount Fuji southern foothills position at 450 metres adjacent to the iconic Fuji Five Lakes resort corridor, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the tourism, manufacturing, and outlet shopping character contributing local sources. The extraordinary Mount Fuji massif creates dramatic topographic variation and creates distinctive local Föhn-like wind patterns, while consistent Pacific maritime breezes provide background ventilation and Gotenba generally maintains moderate to good conditions for a major Japanese Mount Fuji foothills city throughout most of the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Gotenba?
The biggest local contributors to pollution in Gotenba are traffic emissions, manufacturing and food processing, as well as tourism-related traffic, particularly once maritime winds die down. Onshore breezes usually help clear the air, but pollution can build up when winds are light. This natural ventilation is one reason coastal areas often see better readings than inland cities.
Are air quality levels in Gotenba based on measurements or forecasts?
It is forecasts derived by downscaling forecasts provided by EU’s Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) by taking into account local conditions such as traffic patterns. CAMS bases its forecast on satellite measurements of particles and chemical compounds in the atmosphere. Airmine’s services were developed with support from the European Space Agency (ESA)’s Business Applications and Space Solutions (BASS) team.
