Mt. Ryuzozan Pass

This is up the valley from the pass road. I was trying to find this gigantic stone featured on a map but I didn't find it this time. It's very pretty country with mostly green tea farms.

Well it's always nice to have a shot of the old bike. Tourist map behind the bike shows plenty of hiking trails in this area. I want to go back with the dogs and explore them.

Many Japanese waterfalls are man-made like this. Shutter speed slowed down to 1/3 second to get some water blur.

I got back early so I decided to head up the hill behind our house and get a shot of Mt. Fuji from up there. We live on the far right on that spit of land. This is our little city which obviously has a thriving harbour. The mountains I went up today are to the very left in the distance.
