I didn’t know what these things were when I photographed them through a window in Ginza (the first floor of Matsuzakaya). They looked like some sort of high-end Krispy Kreme. Actually they are cake, very expensive cake, like everything else in Ginza.
The photographer made some last minute adjustments to this October bride outside the Four Seasons Hotel in Chinzanso.
Don’t forget where you parked your bike in some of these monster-sized bike parking lots in Japan or you’ll never find your bike again.
Some days Mt. Fuji is there for the seeing but it can’t be seen. The humidity and brightness of the sun turn the sky and everything in the distance more or less white. On those days, as the sun drops Fuji San makes its appearance. I think this fisherman was too busy to notice.
While on the hike I mentioned back in April, I came upon the ridge you can see in the right side of this picture. This is the trail, so if you want to make the loop you have to cross it. On either side of the narrow path are steep cliffs. One false step and you are a goner. Needless to say, you don’t want to be on this ridge during an earthquake, in poor weather, or while intoxicated. In virtually any other situation, you should have no problem getting to the other side as I did.
The approach to Toshogu in May is quite a contrast to how it looked in February on a snowy day–lush, lush, lush green as opposed to the frozen, white winter. Even though they are polar opposites, it’s hard not to like them both.
