Fresh greenery and clouds over Mt. Fuji
Winner
Kazuo Numata
residence
Numazu City, Shizuoka Prefecture
Comment:
On this day, I was returning home to Nagano Prefecture from Numazu, but when I left home early in the morning, there were some big clouds around Mt. Fuji, so I kept looking at Mt. Fuji on the way. When I arrived at the Asagiri Plateau, where there was good visibility, I saw a beautiful and dignified cap cloud hanging over the mountain, so I got out of the car and took a picture. The combination with the fresh green leaves was impressive, so I edited it to that color.

The chairs are set up facing Mt. Fuji. From here you can leisurely enjoy the seasonal scenery of Mt. Fuji and the lakeside, so it quickly became my favorite spot.

The main attraction of the Akimiya festival at Sengen Taisha Shrine is the fierce competition between floats and food stalls, and the town's notables perform the event. Even in a place with a view of Mt. Fuji, the referee is Princess Sakuya (lol).
