Sunset over Chureito Pagoda, Fujiyoshida, Japan
Monday saw us drive to the iconic Chureito Pagoda for sunset. We arrived in good time and set off up the 400 steps to the viewing platform. I was amazed at just how busy it was and we had to queue to enter the viewing area but wow, it was sure worth the view.
No tripods were allowed during the busy times but as the sun fell, the staff left so out came the three legged beast. The cherry blossom trees were out in force and Francis (my guide) informed me that it was the first time that he had seen such a great blossom bloom.
For those interested, the pagoda is part of the Arakura Sengen Shrine and was built as a peace memorial in 1963 nearly 400 steps up the mountain from the shrine's main buildings. All I know is that it looks very beautiful and even more so when photographed in conjunction with Mt Fuji in the background.
Psssst. It's completely free to enter too ;-)
NOTE: I shall be creating a photo workshop/tour for Japan April next year. If you would like to be one of the first to be notified when a place comes up, let me know below :D
