I can see it from Chiba on the far side of Tokyo Bay everyday, at a distance of 250+ kilometers.
I just fired up one of those single patrol scenarios that starts off the coast of Honshu. I checked the area out. No sign of the mountain although I did get blasted by a shore battery for my pains.

I tried using the external camera to search inland but found the ground just drops straight down to the sea like a facade when you go too far. That's probably why it's not there. My guess is that the game only models topography so far inland and then quits.

Must be an impressive sight in real life from Chiba. I see Mount Rainier everyday on my commute although it's not as pretty and symmetrical as Fuji.
