Azusa River’s water flows quietly,
Golden light filters through the trees,
In nature’s embrace, the evening comes,
A place so serene and at ease.
Photo Description – Illuminated Riverbank Tranquility

Story Behind the Photo – On the Way to Myojinkan
This photo was taken along the banks of the Azusa River in Kamikochi, on the way to Myojinkan. It’s about an hour’s walk from Kappabashi. In the evening, even on such a fine day, you hardly meet anyone along the path. The setting sun casting light on the Azusa River created a tranquil atmosphere, capturing the clarity of the forest air.
From an Amateur Photographer’s Perspective – Capturing Evening Tranquility
As I walked towards Myojinkan, this quiet scene caught my eye, and I stopped to take a photo. The soft evening light filtering through the trees and reflecting off the river created a magical moment. The silence of the area was profound, allowing me to capture the clear air of the forest in my photograph.
