Fuji, a chain of lakes form the Fuji Five Lake region (å¯å£«äºæ¹, fuji go ko), and are a part of the Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park (å¯å£«ç®±æ ¹ä¼è±å½ç«å¬å, Fuji-Hakone-Izu Kokuritsu KÅen ). en.wikipedia.org en.wikipedia.org en.wikipedia.org . These lakes, created when ancient lava flowed across rivers and a large lake, are popular tourist destinations, since they offer classic views of Mt. Fuji. Lake ShÅji (ç²¾é²æ¹, shÅji ko, literally purification lake) is the smallest lake, and is largely undeveloped. www.mustlovejapan.com , www.murahamasou.com From the lakeshore (901 m. above sea level), a well-trodden hiking path leads uphill for 75 minutes through a hillside forest to a spectacular viewpoint at 1325 m. above sea level. This viewpoint, named Panorama Dai (ããã©ãå°), is an open area at the end of a hilltop ridge, and provides a clear vista of the lakes and rugged volcanic hills of the Fuji Five Lake region. On a clear day, the symmetrical cone of Mt. Fuji (å¯å£«å±±, Fuji-san) en.wikipedia.org fills the mid-distance view, and the jagged peaks of the Southern Japan Alps line the distant horizon. en.wikipedia.org As is typical for Japan, small groups of energetic grandmothers cheerfully endure hours of train and bus travel to reach Lake ShÅji and the Panorama Dai hiking trail. On the trail, these fit and wiry ladies enjoy companionship and exercise, as they steadily hike up to the lookout. There, an <b>...</b>

There is also footage of a hawk flying while holding a fish. Other scenes include ants assaulting a caterpillar, an "ohm" bug romping through the grass, a caterpillar dangling from the sky on its own thread, a spider securing its web, and more. Filmed free-hand with a Sanyo Xacti HD700. Comments and feedback are appreciated.

this is just a quick tour through our new apartment in Minami Alps, which is in the Yamanashi prefecture and is apparently world famous for being the birthplace of Japanese wine. oh and FYI: only having a bed frame to start with is apparently quite common in Japan and that's what they meant by "furnished w bed." also, there are multiple Denny's and a Big Boy around here... it's really weird
2.45 min. | 0 user rating		 Kitaguchi Hongu Fuji Sengen Shrine is in Fujiyoshida, Yamanashi Prefecture. It is claimed that the shrine is 2000 years old. It is locatd at the north entrance to Mount Fuji. Legends say that when Yamatotakeru no Mikoto was on his eastern campaign, he visited this spot and ordered that a Shinto Torii gate be built to mark the sacredness of Mount Fuji. He made an imperial proclamation that people should always climb Mount Fuji from this gate. It is recorded that the first shrine was built in 788 but the shrine standing today was built by Torii Naritsugu in 1615. There are actually approximately 1310 Sengen Shinto shrines in Japan. Sengen shrines are centered around the worship of the kami Konohana-no-sakuyahime-no-mikoto, the daughter of the mountain god Åyamatsumi-no-Mikoto. Konohana-no-sakuyahime-no-mikoto is the kami of Mount Fuji. Due to her fidelity, she is revered as a model for Japanese women. Sengen shrines are found primarily in Shizuoka Prefecture and Yamanashi Prefecture, with a few smaller ones in other areas of the KantÅ region and Aichi. Generally, Sengen shrines must be within sight of Mount Fuji, and thus in connection with Konohana-no-sakuyahime-no-mikoto. Where obstructions hinder a direct view of Mount Fuji a Fujizuka or miniature Mount Fuji is erected instead where Konohana-no-sakuyahime-no-mikoto can be worshipped. A Fujizuka may be made from almost anything, but it must contain rocks from Mount Fuji which are believed to be imbued with the spirit or <b>...</b>

Entry from: Mount Fuji, Japan Entry Title: "The Conquest of Mount Fuji" Entry: "Once again, I haven't posted in a long, long time... This adventure actually happened last August, and I haven't yet decided how (if!) I'm going to backdate entries at all, so please bear with me. Last summer, I was delighted to discover that my new friend Emily was not averse to the idea of climbing Mount Fuji with me. We also recruited Laura, and chose to make our ascent overnight, starting on the 29th of August, a Saturday. Here follows my long account of our climb! * * * My biggest fear about the whole expedition was not so much that we'd get rained on, though I didn't relish that prospect, but that we'd be robbed of spectacular views by cloudy conditions. Since I really wanted to make the top for the sunrise, it would have been quite disappointing to not actually see the sun, eh? I met Laura in Shinjuku on Saturday afternoon, and we shopped for last-minute supplies, and Emily joined us for a supper of pizza and pasta, because we needed the carbs for energy. A few more last minute supplies (Red Bull and chocolate covered almonds, in my case!) were purchased, and we went off to find our bus. I didn't pay any attention to the road to the mountain, because Emily and I kept up a steady stream of conversation the whole way <b>...</b>
