Mount Fuji is the highest mountain in Japan at 3776 meters. It is situated approximately 100 kilometres south-west of Tokyo. Uncertain if there would be a clear day to see Mount Fuji, I took this picture the second day I was in the area, in Motohakone at Lake Ashi, Hakone region. It was hidden behind clouds a day earlier and the weather was rainy the days afterwards.

Mount Fuji, also known as Fujisan, is an active stratovolcano that is the tallest mountain in Japan. It is located on the border of Yamanashi and Shizuoka prefectures, about 100 kilometers southwest of Tokyo. Mount Fuji is a dormant volcano, with its last eruption occurring in 1707.

Mount Fuji is a nearly symmetrical volcanic cone, with a graceful slope that rises to a snow-capped summit. The mountain is covered in snow for about five months of the year, from November to April. Mount Fuji is a popular tourist destination, and it is also a sacred mountain in Shintoism and Buddhism.

Mount Fuji is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and it is one of the most iconic symbols of Japan. It has been depicted in art and literature for centuries, and it is a popular subject for photography. Mount Fuji is also a popular destination for hiking and mountaineering.

Mount Fuji is surrounded by five lakes: Lake Ashi, Lake Kawaguchiko, Lake Yamanakako, Lake Saiko, and Lake Shoji. These lakes are popular tourist destinations, and they offer stunning views of Mount Fuji.

Mount Fuji is also home to a variety of plant and animal life. The mountain’s forests are home to deer, monkeys, and bears. The mountain’s alpine meadows are home to a variety of wildflowers and butterflies.

Mount Fuji is a truly unique and special place. It is a natural wonder that has inspired people for centuries. If you have the opportunity to visit Mount Fuji, I highly recommend it.

Kinkaku-ji (“Temple of the Golden Pavilion”), is a Zen Buddhist temple in Kyoto, Japan and very popular. One of the most beautiful places I got to see in Japan.

The Kinkaku-ji is a golden jewel nestled in a verdant setting. It is a temple of pure beauty, its gilded exterior reflecting the sunlight like a mirror. The temple is surrounded by a serene garden, with a pond that mirrors the golden pavilion like a painting.

The Kinkaku-ji is a place of peace and tranquility. It is a place to come to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and to find inner peace. The temple is a reminder of the beauty of nature and the power of the human spirit.

When you visit the Kinkaku-ji, take your time to explore the garden and to admire the temple from all angles. Sit by the pond and listen to the birds sing. Feel the gentle breeze on your skin and the warmth of the sun on your face. Allow the beauty of the temple to wash over you and to fill you with peace.

The Kinkaku-ji is a magical place. It is a place where you can lose yourself in the beauty of nature and the power of the human spirit. It is a place where you can find inner peace and tranquility.
