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....

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.

Nishizawa Gorge - Yamanashi

2016/11/03     "The dullness around fails to hide its Full Glory ." Nishizawa Gorge is located in the very west of Yamanashi, close to the boundaries of Saitama and Nagano. Arakawa River flows through Chichibu mountains creating the Nishizawa Gorge. It is a hiking course of 4 hour walking along the river through muddy trails in the woods watching the river falling , flowing and gushing towards the city. Along the way we come across bridges and waterfalls. Too bad I could not capture any of the bridges but managed to capture the waterfalls which will be posted under a different post. .   It was November and the mid Autumn.  The water level was low and bearably cold. Here is Arakawa river flowing down the rocky steps through the stones. We walk up the river trail while the river flows in the opposite direction. The trails are narrow, and muddy at some parts. Some parts are safe guarded by metal chains and some parts are not. A little missed ste...
