Fuji twilight
Fuji-san, the mighty, the sacred, the eternally mysterious - central to the identity of Japan and her people.
For me, a pilgrimage of sorts; to finally stand before this most beautiful of natural wonders, a deeply moving 24 hours in my life.
Fuji-san leaves one breathless and bewildered. Parting earth and sky with remarkable symmetry, its beauty beyond description in text or letter; no poem powerful enough to create the emotion in one's heart and mind upon seeing for the first time, in person and close at hand.
Here is Fuji-san with Lake Kawaguchiko as the sun slowly disappeared and night began to fall. This wonderful view was enjoyed from our balcony with its own private onsen, at the hotel Kukuna. Highly recommended.
Mount Fuji is an active stratovolcano and the tallest mountain in Japan, standing at 3,776 m.
