Dag 8
Owakudani
12. november 2022, Japan ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C
Volcanic mountainside with craters, fumaroles, and sulfur vents. Eggs are commonly boiled in hot springs, but only here at Owakudani do they turn black. The eggs are sent back and forth by a miniature cable car. From what I could tell from the Geo Museum, the metal towers are essentially collecting the volcanic steam/gases/minerals and infusing it into the water, cooling it before it’s piped to the hot spring baths in the surrounding area. Landslides are catastrophic so there’s been a lot of work building retaining walls.Les mer

Dag 9
Genbe River (Mishima)
13. november 2022, Japan ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C
An incredible river walk stretches through the city of Mishima. Concrete stepping stones and boardwalks place you right at the water’s edge—and then some. Along the way is a rich diversity of aquatic plants and birds. There are also a few cafes where you can take a quick coffee break or grab a bite to eat.Les mer

Ikadaba Wasabi Fields
13. november 2022, Japan ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C
Traditional wasabi cultivation in Shizuoka is a recognized Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System. Here, wasabi is grown sustainably by the “tatamiishi” method that features a piles of rocks and pebbles within a terraced landscape to control water temperature and ensure the adequate flow of spring water down the entire field. The wasabi fields pictured here are relatively large—as you wind up and down the densely forested mountains, you can find smaller fields wherever there is a creek or stream.Les mer

Kawazu Seven Waterfalls
13. november 2022, Japan ⋅ 🌧 17 °C
A great day exploring some part of the Izu Peninsula. While walking the Seven Waterfalls trail, we stumbled upon a hidden restaurant in the forest called Higurashi (which was basically just someone’s house), where they grow their own shiitake mushrooms!

The walk started with Deai-daru Falls (#2 of 7), and along the way, in the pouring rain, we crossed a wave-shaped suspension bridge and saw an old waterworks building along the river. Of course, we also had to sidestep crabs and giant toads that were also using the path… not to mention there were a few missing bridges. Finally, we stopped for some ice cream (and wasabi-flavored souvenirs), and drove back towards Hakone on the Kawazu Nanadari Loop Bridge.Les mer

Dragon’s Back
14. november 2022, Japan ⋅ ⛅ 11 °C
Deciduous trees planted along mountain ridges creates a stunning illusion of a dragon rising up as the leaves change color in the fall. Unfortunately, the light was bad for landscape photography, plus we were a little late for peak fall colors… but you get the idea. It was still an amazing sight.Les mer

Dag 10
Nara Park
14. november 2022, Japan ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C
Nara Park is home to a little over 1,000 sika deer. Since Takemikazuchi, one of the gods enshrined at Kasuga-taisha, first visited while riding a white deer, all of these “Nara deer” are considered sacred. And according to Wikipedia, anyone who kills one is sentenced to death (but there hasn’t been an incident since 1637).

Nowadays, you can feed the deer “shika senbei,” which are special sugar-free deer crackers made from wheat flour and rice bran. They only cost a couple hundred yen for a package, and a percentage goes to protecting the deer. But don’t feed them regular food (or the paper packaging or plastic bags), because that will make them sick.

Kasuga Shrine and the surrounding primeval forest are part of the “Historic Monuments of Ancient Nara,” a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Kasuga-taisha is known for its great number of bronze lanterns (inside) and stone lanterns (outside).Les mer

Philosopher’s Path
15. november 2022, Japan ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C
Tetsugaku no michi, or the “Philosopher’s Walk,” is a winding path along a section of the Lake Biwa Canal that is lined with cherry trees—so just imagine it in the spring! Dating back to the 1890s, the path was completed/converted into a walking trail by Kyoto City in 1968, and has since made the list of 100 Best Japanese Roads. Along the route are a number of temples (like Otoyo Jinja, a Shinto shrine with statues of many different animals), cafes, and boutiques.

Apparently, according to Japan–guide.com, the path got its name since this is where “Nishida Kitaro, one of Japan's most famous philosophers… practice[d] meditation while… on his daily commute to Kyoto University.”

You can also find cats.Les mer

Kimono Forest, Arashiyama Station
16. november 2022, Japan ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C
Extra thanks to Anastasha for patiently waiting for multiple trains to come through so I could take pictures of them, even though I didn’t end up using those pictures.

The first shot is the truest to the actual scene—a beautiful wash of yellow-orange light. The second pulls back on the exposure and adjusts the white balance to better showcase the beautiful colors and designs you see in each glowing kimono print.Les mer
