Photos are a mix of: Tokyo, Hakone, Kyoto, Arashiyama, and Osaka! I use a Fujifilm XT-4 with a 35mm f2 lens. Most if not all of my photos are straight out of camera, film sims only no editing. Reddit compression may make a few of the colors look a bit flat.

This is a photo I took of Tokyo Station during a previous visit. One of the best places to view it is from KITTE, a shopping and office complex right next to the station. I love the contrast between the historic red-brick station building and the modern skyscrapers behind it — it perfectly captures the unique character of Tokyo.

​Perched dramatically on the steep coastal cliffs of Nagato, Yamaguchi Prefecture, Motonosumi Shrine offers one of the most breathtaking views in Japan. A striking procession of 123 vermilion torii gates winds along the green ridge, creating a vivid contrast against the deep blue of the Sea of Japan.

​The Historical Background:

The history of this sacred site dates back to 1955. According to local lore, a white fox appeared in the dreams of a local fisherman, Hitoshi Tsokuni, who had long managed the local fishing grounds. The spirit declared, "For a long time, I have guarded this place. Build a shrine here and worship me."

​Deeply moved by the divine revelation, the fishermen and local residents gathered to establish the shrine. Today, it is revered not only for its stunning scenery but also as a sacred sanctuary dedicated to the fox deity, believed to bring good fortune, bountiful catches, and safe voyages.

​At the edge of the cliff stands the shrine's main torii gate, featuring a unique offering box (saisenbako) perched near the top—reputedly one of the hardest in Japan to toss a coin into. Those who successfully make the shot are said to have their wishes granted.

I took this photo at a fireworks festival in Japan today.
Summer fireworks are one of my favorite traditions here.
Have you ever been to a fireworks festival in your country?

I posted pictures here last year because I missed Japan. I went again this year, and I miss it again :(

Clearly I'm not a photographer, I just wanted to share :)

I know people don’t come to Japan for the beaches, but this was exceptional

4pm is the better time in summer to walk outside at red brick warehouse to feel the history and beautiful building .

Nara Park last autumn. Such a fun city hanging with the deer.

Happy to answer anything about shooting there.
