The key to any successful outing always lies in Mother Nature’s good graces – we’re at the mercy of the weather gods for perfect conditions.
I had meticulously planned a dream getaway to Mount Fuji, booking a charming homestay for the 31st after spending the 30th in vibrant Shinjuku.
The weather forecast promised crystal-clear visibility over Mount Fuji on the 30th – a photographer’s dream come true!
Fueled by excitement, I squeezed in just 2 hours of sleep at my Shinjuku hotel before joining an exhilarating sunrise tour at 3 AM.
Alas, instead of breathtaking views, I spent the magical morning hours staring at an impenetrable wall of fog – nature’s cruel joke [heartbreaking emoji]. The majestic peak remained stubbornly hidden behind its misty veil.
Mount Fuji looks breathtaking with perfect visibility. I wish I could visit during cherry blossom season; it must be magical. Have you tried capturing it early morning? The light might add something special to your photos.
Absolutely, shooting Fuji early in the morning can be incredible! The soft light often enhances the colors and creates a serene atmosphere. It’s indeed magical combined with cherry blossoms. Thanks for your insightful comment!
