Mount Fuji

Mount Fuji is my favorite  scenery spot. I used to go to see Mount Fuji every dawn of the new year. First it was at Hakone and then next year it was at Izu in Shizuoka. it`s  always the most enchanting view and mount Fuji always manages to calm me down. 
I have seen different Mount.Fujis through out my 2 years in Japan. Sometimes it is blue, then again it is red. Again it is of a dull brown colour and then no snow at the  top. Mount Fuji is so  beautiful that it always had been a favourite matter of discussion among painters and nature lovers.


 13.1 Mount Fuji from the Hakone mountains

The photo above was taken at Odakuwani Hakone of Kanagawa prefecture. I was out on a trip to tne odawakuni hot springs and this photo was taken at the car park. The blueness of the clear blue sky and also the clearness of the winter air has given mount Fuji a blue aurora. Just imagine the wonderful meaning I felt when I see this with my naked eyes.



13.2  Mount Fuji from the Chuo Express way

The photo 13.2 was taken on my way to Fuji-Q Highland. This is in the Yamanshi prefecture and literally this theme park is situated at the foot of the Mount Fuji. All the attractions can be enjoyed with the enhancement of a snow capped Mount Fuji behind. As this was in the spring the air is a little unclear but that does not harm the beauty of Fuji in the least.
13.3 Mount Fuji from the Fuji-Q Highland

This photo is one of my favourite photos. Evrything is brushed lightly with a charming blue colour. The light blue sky, the Blue Fuji and the water blue enhances the real atmosphere. This is too good to be true. As i said earlier, the unclear spring air has not damaged its beauty in the least.
 
13.4  Mount Fuji from Nihondaira-  Izu Peninsula

This is the famous red Mount Fuji which can be senn very rarely. I was at Nihondaira to see the first sun dawn of 2009. MountFuji was tinted red with the first sun rays of year 2009. The majesty of the silent volcanoe can never be compared to anything else. The snow at the top is the crown. Such a beauty.

 13.5  Mount. Fuji from Miho no Matsubara beach - Shizuoka

This photo was taken at the Miho no matsubara beach.The sand is black with white shells scattered all over. Far beyond, Mount Fuji stands smart and proud with the whiteblayer os anow at the top.This was taken on the same day ,in which I was at Nihondaira. The first glimpse of Mount Fuji  in the first day of the new year makes it all complete.

 13.6  Mount Fuji from the Tokai Express way

This photo was taken from the Tokai express way when we were heading back home from Shizuoka. The road runs towards the giant volcano which boasts it hugenesss and the never changing charmingness. The beautiful layer of snow and the new little crater on the right is  also very clear in this photo. 
 

I have a dream to climb Mount Fuji. To see the sun rise from the top of the mountain. To see the world over the clouds. I wish I was healthy enough to stand up against the rude coldness and the thinning air. Wish I was healthy enough....

Borobudur - Yogyakarta

2014/05/06 Borobudur is the worlds largest Buddhist temple, hence UNESCO World Heritage Site. We had plans to watch the sunrise at Borbudur over Mount Merapi. So it was an early trip to the temple around 4.30 in the dark by torch light, wait for the sunrise enjoy the view from the top of the temple, have breakfast at Manohara hotel and leave. It was pitch dark in the night, not much moon. The torchlight showed us the way and a silhouette of a temple came in to view when our eyes gradually got used to the dark. With the first rays of sunlight, we saw Mount Merapi. The beautiful but vicious volcano fuming. Loved it! All around the place is covered in mist, so the actual surroundigs are yet to be confirmed. By now the temple, which we  have already climbed and waiting at the  top, is coming in to view. The stupas, carvings and statues gradually emerge. The temple is a symmetrical stupa, consisting of nine stacked platforms: six squar...

Onabe - Japanese Hot Pot

15/05/2010 It was after spending the evening at Thai Festival 2010 in Yoyogi,Shibuya. The dinner was decided on "Nabe" at a shibuya chain restaurant of Japanese hot pot. I have always loved nabe. I have had shabu shabu hotpot, sukiyaki hotpot and seafood hotpot at Japanese houses and this was the first time I am having it at a restaurant. So I thought of sharing some moments of the supreme happiness of eating Nabe - the Japanese hotpot. Beef, eggs and the vegetables  The whole table of ingredients for the Nabe in one shot Shabu shabu and sukiyaki on one hotplate finally you dip the boiled slice of meat in the "tare" and eat. This chain restaurant is in Shibuya and limitless "tabehoudai" for less than 2000yen. Good service and loved the meat.   All Rights Reserved.
