"Diamond Fuji" is a well-known phenomenon in Japan. It is caused by the sun goes down right top of Mt.Fuji at sunset. When it reaches on the top, the sun sparkles like a diamond. Of course it depends on the weather and it can be seen only with very clear sky.
In Hachioji City, Tokyo, "Diamond Fuji" is available in many places between December and January. One of the most popular spots to see it would be the top of Mt.Takao, but you can try to watch it from the downtown, too.
Since this phenomenon requires a perfect weather condition, it is not easy to get a good chance to take photos. This year I tried to record a video of it, but there were thin clouds around Fuji although it looked like a good enough weather, then the sun light was breaking up when it goes down onto the top of Fuji.
If I succeeded it, the view should have been like the photo below. I luckily got a good chance to take the photo several years ago. I hope I can have a perfect condition and succeed to record it next year!
