The broad trunks remind us just how long these cedars have been here.

They are tens of meters of high.

They have centuries of growth leading to this point in their history.

They stand tall, strong and imposing.

And they will still be here long after most of us are gone …

After spending a bit more than a week in the busy japanese capital I moved to Hakone. My idea was to relax in their thermal waters after a busy week, enjoying views of Mount Fuji.

Hakone is famous for its views of Mount Fuji, lake Ashi and the beautiful shine inside the forest. Since I visited during the rainy season, it was always cloudy and Mount Fuji was not visible.

The first day, during sunset, the volcano’s shadow appeared between the mist for a few minutes. The mist naturally created the look and feel of a classic Japanese painting. Mount Fuji never reappeared during the remaining couple of days I spent there.

Mount Fuji has been nicknamed “Shy Mountain” since it often hides in the mist. This was my first sight of the famous volcano that I would visit a few days later, where I planned to hike up to the peak.
