I stumbled upon this bridge while trekking in Japanese Alps. I have no idea what the sign means but I really like how simple it is and how beautiful it fits to the bridge.

We started at the base of Hakuba Happo-One (750m above sea level) and catched a one way lift ride to the top of the slopes (about 1800m above sea level). From there we hiked up the spine, but because of wind and clouds we had to turn around near the top. This photo is taken right before we went back down. Mt. Karamatsu (2696m) is the peak to the right. We went back a week later, with perfect conditions, and managed to summit. The view from the peak is stunning in clear weather, and you’re able to see huge areas. There’s even possible to spot Mt. Fuji in the far distance.

Japan had long been a dream travel destination for me, particularly once I heard about the Nagano snow monkeys. I’ve always had a thing for monkeys and their strange human-like tendencies. As we hiked through the snow to the mountain onsens (natural volcanic hot springs) where they congregate, I couldn’t believe my eyes as hundred of them lay in a trace in the volcanic heated water of the springs. A moment i’ll never forget!

Mt. Kitadake is Japan's second-highest peak at 3,193m above sea level. It's often overshadowed by its old brother Mt. Fuji but don't let that fool you. This mountain offer beautiful views and requires an equally strong commitment to climb. This photo is of us finally passing the cloud line just as the sun was setting. And it was so quiet, you can hear nothing. Not even the wind.

Hiked up a mountain in Kofu to take some Mount Fuji photos on a cloudy day, but accidentally stumbled upon this beautiful moment.

It was 9:30 in the morning. We were on the way to Mt. Fuji. After 150 miles we glimpsed the volcanic mountain for the 1st time. There was no way I was going to miss the opportunity to capture the first glimpse of this majestic mountain, so I took this photo from the bus.

Everytime when I’m going back to Mt. Fuji it feels like it’s the first time visiting. This time was special because my daughter is already 2 years old and she seems to understand more. When someone asks me what to visit around Tokyo, I always recommend Fuji-San. It’s easy to reach and impossible not to love.

After an eight hour hike overnight midst strong winds and rain, we managed to catch the first sunrise in Japan at the peak of Mount Fuji.

Daibutsu otherwise known as the Great Buddha is a large statue that is housed in the ground of Kotoku-in Temple in Kamakura, Japan. Not many people know, but Kamakura was for a time the capital of Japan after Nara and Kyoto.

Here’s the “Great Buddha” or Kōtoku-in of Kamakura, Japan. Me and my girlfriend travelled from Tokyo to see this great buddha statue. Towering over the tourists it was a hard shot to get uninterrupted from the crowd.

A friend of mine once owned a great select shop out by the beach in Hayama, Japan. This particular piece always stood out on his wall. It was carved from an ox's skull. Beautiful detail and intricate pattern work.

On a sunny day in Izu, Shizuoka, Japan, we had been seeking for an ideal spot to take this particular shot. One of my friends jumped off from the cliff and I took this shot in the water.

Possibly the most peaceful and beautiful 2 hour hike you’ll ever do. Massive old growth trees, ancient temples, calming rivers, and a lush forest follows you along the entire route. When we reached the temple at the top, nobody was up there but an older Japanese woman reciting chants, while a monk slowly beat on a large drum.

We found our way through the city streets after traversing through the different temples. There is something nice about seeing the contrast between the serene and bustle of the Kyoto intertwining.

I visited Kyoto, Japan in 2014 and explored several shrines & temples with my friend. I took an interest in the many cats that explored the shrines and took several pictures of them.
