Mount Fuji views from Shibuya

Indian summer of but had been followed by a very cold day in the cold wave influence of place here, today changed hit. And a coat and Masura, as sweaty and walking down the Shibuya of the city.

The picture below is the scenery of "city of Shibuya" seen from Shibuya Hikarie 11th floor. The clear blue sky is very pleasant. I would like you to pay attention to the center of the photo.

Let a little try to zoom photos. For smartphone photography, I'm sorry rough image quality, at the back of the Tokyu department store Toyoko shop sign, white crisp Fuji suffered the snow. Here about 100 kilometers straight-line distance from Shibuya to Mount Fuji (I just want to say really 109km, but ...) there will, but the winter that is clear of the air looks really well.

Speaking of which, “Miyamasukazaka” next to Shibuya Hikarie was once called “Fujimisaka”. If you understand the history, Miyamasuzaka starts from Akasaka Ondo in Edo, and is part of the "Oyama Highway" that leads to Ashigara Pass. At that time, Oyama Kaido was bustling as a worship route to "Oyama (located in Isehara City, Kanagawa Prefecture, etc.)", which was the subject of mountain faith, and it is said that many worshipers went to this Miyamazaka. It is probably crowded with many teahouses around the current “Miyamasukazakaue”, and the travel people would have had a break while looking at Mount Fuji.

Palace in the middle of Miyamasuzaka has "Mitake shrine".

In the precincts, and admired the scenery that Matsuo Basho viewed from the temple Miyamasuzaka, there is a monument called a poem. "When Ya especially Is the month Fuji applied to the eye" (1811 years). When Ya willfully May Fuji applied to the eye - probably around that went up the temple Miyamasuzaka, do you thing that poem the beauty of Mt. Fuji looked in the early summer bright day during the rainy season between the rain. When I think that looking at the same landscape as Basho, is somewhat happy.

Incidentally, today (12/19), the operation of a high-speed toll bus connecting SHIBUYA MARKCITY and Mt. Fuji began. Although it is registered as a world heritage site and increasingly popular, "Fuji" is about 2 and a half hours from Shibuya Station, which is surprisingly close, and the price seems to be 1800 yen for one way. It is also great to watch the mountains at Mt. Fuji and to return home after entering the hot spring at Kawaguchiko on the way home (lol)
