不動院 panorama from room
peaking out my room window, this is a photomerge of Fudoin on Koyasan
昇仙峡
Shosenkyo near Kofu, Japan
Kakuenbo (覚円峰) is the normal “face” of Shosenkyo, but the rocks in today’s photo have a similar appearance, even from this different angle. Maybe this is the backside of Kakuenbo; I’m not sure.
When I took this photo I had just come from more than a month of looking at and hiking through somewhat similar rocks in the mountains above Gwangju in South Korea.
BTW, I took today’s photo from a place called Yasaburotake (弥三郎岳), a giant rock you can get to easily from the top of the Shosenkyo Ropeway (昇仙峡ロープウェイ). Most people doing the ropeway are heading to this spot so just follow the Japanese people.
Winter festivals
Taiko drumming @ a summer bon odori in Tokyo
@Visit_Japan @BonOdori513
Although Japan’s temples and shrines can sit rather quietly during the winter, tomorrow is Setsubun so if you are in Japan February 3 is a good day to give your local shrine or temple a visit to see if they have something going on.
Crater Lake in winter
Crater Lake’s Discovery Point on the West Rim Drive in winter
A week ago, this happened. The approach to this location looked like this.
Fudoin’s scenery (景色)
view from Kaede room in Fudoin on Koyasan
@Visit_Japan
As previously mentioned, I was given the Kaede room when I checked in at Fudoin. After the temple priest instructed me on where everything was in the room, how to use the remote controls, and when dinner would be served he departed. I rested a moment before getting up to slide the shoji (障子) open and enjoy my view.
Next week I will show you 180 degrees of view once I stuck my head out through the window.
