#Yamanakako Lake

Teppo-Kinokashira| Myojinyama Mountain Peaks in Yamanashi Pref., Japan

Rising a mere 1,291 m (4,235.56 ft) above sea level, the peak of Myōjinyama Mountain (鉄砲木ノ頭 or 明神山）offers lovely views of Yamanako Lake to the west and grand views of Mt. Fuji to the southwest (on a clear day).

The mountain is basically composed of ancient mounds of volcanic pumice from Mt. Fuji’s most recent eruptions thus creating conditions that are not ideal for heavy tree growth but perfect for grassy species like suzuki!

Sadly the pumice is unstable and is susceptible to heavy corrosion from hiking trails where the suzuki plant life has been killed and can no longer hold the soil together sufficiently.

This small mountain is popular for novice hikers and suitable for paragliding. My main attraction to this mountain were the vast fields of susuki grass, which provide a golden, beautiful foreground to the vast landscape of Mt. Fuji and the heart-shaped Lake Yamanakako.

Toumyu Suehirogari

Yeah I watched it! I went to Fuji Q on the 18th by regular tourist bus and it took forever cause traffic was awful, and we made stops at Gotemba outlets and Yamanakako. Got to Fuji Q way later than expected, didn't have chill lunch at the park but had chill conbini food outside... that conbini got so overrun that by the time we got out, there was a line just to get in to buy things. I'm so glad I was with friends, otherwise everything would have made me cry, I hate crowds. Toumyu also provided storage which was kinda of expensive since they asked 1000 yen even for a small suitcase, but it was still very useful since we couldn't check in to our shared house beforehand. The goods line seemed pretty crazy, and didn't really get better as time went on. If anthing, people were sceptical about the water at first but later on that got sold out the fastest. People would line up from in the morning for hours to get water, y'all. Thirsty hoes literally. Anyways this was the first time I ever went to a shonichi (very first day/show) and it was WILD. Like of course we knew about the mini stages and the carts but when things actually began to happen, you did not know where to look. We had seats pretty far back, but they gave a good view of one mini stage + the path of the cart behind us. The first time a cart came by, I'm pretty sure that Samidare saw my "wan!" uchiwa. I don't have a brain to remember the setlist but there are things circling around on twitter. Either way, it was such a good show, everything was so fun, I had to cheat a lot with my penlights cause I missed a lot of colours but I got by I think. Daigo sang his solo (I love Tears, despite not liking most ballads this one is just so dramatic), he also had a duet with Koryuu I believe. The whole show went by so fast, I loved seeing everyone, they had crane stages for another duet, and they ended with a bit of fireworks. Truly the summer festival we deserved. The next day we did some Fuji Q-ing which is accurate because lining up made up over half the day. It was very crowded. And it was very crowded the whole week, so it had nothing to do with regular visitors but everything with sword girlies. Took lots of pics too, and I stayed the longest since some friends went to see the show again and others went home. Ate Belgian fries, got another toumyu collab snack now that there were NO lines. (earlier we waited in line to order and then friends waited SO long to receive the drinks, it was pretty bad). I saw the show again on Tuesday after having spent some time around lake Kawaguchi(ko) since my friend was doing some telework. It was another show with Daigo, this time Tsurumaru also did his solo. My seat was closer but I didn't have a good view of the main stage anyway and not as good of the carts either. Still really fun though... I stayed another day for more Tourism (which was fun but also a bit frustrating and tiring), then hung at Fuji Q and with friends again, and then took another bus straight home. This time no stops in between and I was home in two and a half hours. Suehirogari was great! It was a hassle and hotels were expensive but the show was amazing. Unfortunately Sasamori got sick and had to miss the final two shows. Poor sap. I hope he rests and eats well cause I just feel like he overdoes it and doesn't sustain himself well enough :c

Walk, walk, walk in Yamanaka Lake

I contributed to install and implement art-work called Walk Walk Walk with Unity at Yamanaka Lake in Shizuoka, Japan.

--

Explanation of this art-work

A group of anonymous and diverse figures walk along the trees in Yamanakako.

Viewers will make choices, as they confront the figures.

The Zen expression “Hoho kore dojo” says every step is a place to learn. The figures of the artwork walk endlessly while confronting new situations. Confronting new figures one after another, people also make choices along their own path.

The artwork is not a pre-recorded image that is played back: it is created by a computer program that continuously renders the work in real time. Previous visual states can never be replicated, and will never reoccur. The picture at this moment can never be seen again.

Oshino Hakkai, literally “eight seas” in Japanese, is a set of eight ponds in the small village of Oshino in the Fuji Five Lakes region. Situated between Lake Kawaguchiko and Lake Yamanakako, Oshino Hakkai was the site of a sixth lake that dried out many centuries ago. The water in the eight ponds comes from the melted snow on Mount Fuji, which filters through porous volcanic rock. This process takes several decades and is the reason why the water in the ponds is so clear and pristine. — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/ye3LOYQ

Japanese Maples and Susuki Grass

Lone Japanese maples (momiji・モミジ・紅葉) located at the edge of a tight curve on Prefectural Highway 730 next to the parking lot of the trailhead where you can take a hike to the peak of Mt. Myojin (明神山）in Yamanashi Prefecture.

The early evening sun lit up this scene perfectly! It is possible to catch this shot with Mt. Fuji in the background, but you will have to be very patient (or arrive very early) and wait for a clean shot with no cars, motorbikes, or people in the shot.

After climbing to the summit, you can head down to Lake Yamanakako, which is only a six-minute drive from the trail head, or head in the opposite direction and visit the Fuji International Speedway, which is only a 15-minute drive from the trail head.

Highway 730 is a twisty road with tight curves and steep inclines and is the main mountain pass between Lake Yamanaka and Fuji International Speedway. This highway seems to be very popular among motorcycle riders and sports car drivers!
