Mount Fuji On A Clear Day
Jan 25th, 2008 by Neil
Coming to work this morning it was a very clear day, much clearer than the last few, which also meant much colder. The temperature when we came through the station this morning was 1′C and i felt it.
Still, when got to work i was able to take a few photos of Mount Fuji, unfortunately the photos i took were through the glass so they lose some quality, you still get the idea though.
Mount Fuji (富士山 Fuji-san?), is the highest mountain in Japan at 3,776 m (12,388 ft). A dormant volcano that last erupted in 1707-08, it straddles the boundary of Shizuoka and Yamanashi prefectures just west of Tokyo, from which it can be seen on a clear day. It is located near the Pacific coast of central Honshū. Three small cities surround it: Gotemba (east), Fujiyoshida (north) and Fujinomiya (southwest).
Mount Fuji’s exceptionally symmetrical cone is a well-known symbol of Japan and it is frequently depicted in art and photographs, as well as visited by sightseers and climbers.

)
You know what I was lucky enough to get a seat on the train this morning myself, actually the front seat of the first car - It was a very clear morning down here in Kyushu too…I should have popped out my camera and got a little footage however I was a bit lazy this morning -
Never been to Mt. Fuji - however it is on my to do list before I move elsewhere…
Glass or no glass, that is still one beautiful site.
or sight… eh? Oops
A Room with a View…
Or to be more exact, the view from my office window. As we head into winter here in Japan, and a sprinkling of snow in Tokyo on Wednesday, you can be assured of some great cloudless days and if you know where to look some really great photo opportuniti…
When my family and I visited Japan, we weren’t able to take this kind of weather. IT’S FREEZING!
