Hiking @ Mt. Fuji

Pictures of Mt. Fuji where one of spiritual places in Japan.
You can drive to halfway up the mountain. It's about two hours hiking course from there. Many people like to try climbing up Mt. Fuji. It's a popular way that people spend a night at a cottage and start around 2am to see sun rise at the top, however I have never tried it.

Reinforcement work is under way as mountain slope is sliding down.
I didn't make any effort, instead I just felt autumn there.
It was a clear day after rainy days that took off orange osmanthus petals.

Rain cleanses us and brings next season.

Thank you very much, Mark.
I realized that it was better to take photo of Fuji from other location though, hiking was fun.

富士山、僕は五合目までしか行ったことがありません。Momoさん、すごい！日本の秋ですねぇ。ミノルタ、いいですねぇ。僕もそれ、欲しいんです。写真きれいです。僕の心に残る紅葉は埼玉県の秩父で見た黄色に輝く山、『息をのむ』というのは本当です。カナダのカエデの紅葉も有名ですが、4年間で14回も行ったのに一度も見ることができず、それを言うと周囲の人が笑います。

Blackout Threatened

It's very cold day. The consumption of electricity has been increasing due to heating. There's rolling blackouts due to electricity shortages caused from Fukushima nuclear power plant accident. TEPCO, Tokyo Electric Power Co., Inc., divided Kanto region into five groups and have been carrying out stop electric power for a few hours in order. Plan was not informed in advance, which gave people confusion. During blackout, traffic light is out of service, there was a fatal traffic accident due to that. My friend took a photo of drinking scene under candlelight At the office, there was an emergency company broadcast at 4:30 pm today. They said 'There might be unpredictable huge blackouts tonight due to lack of supply of electricity according to METI. There will be chance of confusion of transportation therefore go home immediately'. Trains in Tokyo running every few minutes so accurately, and if there's any unusual things such as blackout, it will be a serious con...

Lost in Translation

There are frequent questions for foreigners who visit in Japan such as 'Can you use chopsticks?' or 'Do you eat Natto ?'. And relatively one of the latest might be 'Have you ever watched Lost in Translation?'. And interesting thing is that people who are familiar with Japan well or live in this country for a long time didn't really like that movie. (Including me) I was asked by my friend why, I replied that Sofia Coppola emphasized strange things of Japanese a little bit too much. The Japanese hooker didn't have to be that old woman with such degrading English. The director must have intended it to compare to the heroine who was young and a white beautiful girl. By the way, I and my other friend went to the bar at Park Hyatto in Shinjyku to experience Lost In Translation in last January. The hotel was splendid. All these three picture were being taken by her camera.
