Is this the most #gorgeous #Japan #illumination ?? The #mountfuji enthusiast in me certainly thinks so ❤️ I’m in awe of the talent behind this #workofart at #なばなの里 😱 Can’t believe this is made of actual lights and not projection mapping. Like how? It’s definitely worth going all the way to #Mie #美恵 But honestly, #winterillumination season has just started, and there are a lot of other gorgeous ones left to see 🎄

While we’re lamenting the fact that #mountfuji is still without its iconic cap, lemme share favorite photos and videos of f#fujisan over the years. They’re not all snow-capped (though most are 😂) 2️⃣ Snow-capped Mt. Fuji at night providing the perfect background for tents and campers at @fumotoppara_official 3️⃣ Mt. Fuji and clouds at sunset looking like something straight out of an ukiyo-e, with fireworks and bridge of people in the foreground taken from #enoshima 4️⃣ January at Fumotoppara 5️⃣ Roof at @gotembapremiumoutlets showing just how almost perfectly cone-shaped Mt. Fuji is 6️⃣ Our little family would often go on these impromptu drives along the #shonan coast, park for a while at @pacificdrivein, and just look at Mt. Fuji while listening to the waves 7️⃣ @asagiri_kougen taken in April 8️⃣ @sorairo_outdoor 9️⃣ #diamondfuji taken near the lake at @fumotoppara_official ⏺️ Mt. Fuji demanding attention with just a peep, taken from some random #servicearea in #shizuoka
