A: With spot there is some difficulty added to it. It's harder to spot something than it is to see something.

For example:

1. "I saw the advertisement on the billboard."
2. "I spotted my mother in the crowded supermarket."

In example 1 it is very easy to see the advertisement. The person didn't have to search for it. In example 2, because the supermarket was crowded it was hard for them to see their mother.

It's a subtle nuance between the two but if you're ever in doubt just use "see". Because "see" can be used for anything, but "spot" sometimes sounds unnatural.

For example:

3. "I spotted the advertisement on the billboard."
4. "I saw my mother in the crowded supermarket."

Example 3 seems unnatural but example 4 is fine.

Your original sentence is grammatically correct, but I would be more specific if I wanted to sound clear and natural. Some examples:
"This spot near Mount Fuji is richer in natural beauty than any other scenic spot in the world."
"This spot near Mount Fuji has the richest natural beauty in Japan."

"Scenic" is an adjective meaning "providing or relating to views of impressive or beautiful natural scenery." It is commonly used when describing "spots" or "places" of great natural beauty. Hope this helps!
