The sentence that is correctly hyphenated is "The beauty of Mount Fuji's near-perfect cone shape has enchanted people for centuries."
Near-perfect is correctly hyphenated because in this context it is a compound modifier, it modifies Mount Fuji's appearance.
This would appear to be personification as it is giving human qualities to the Sun, even referring to the Sun as he.
