In Kamikochi’s morning light, trees whisper,
A stream glistens, soft and tender,
Sunrise dances through the leaves,
Nature’s beauty, one believes.

Story Behind the Photo – A Morning Walk Along the Stream
This photo was taken during an early morning walk in Kamikochi in early June. As I walked along the right bank course of the Azusa River, I crossed a small stream flowing from Myojin Pond. Though the tall mountains were out of sight, the scene was alive with the sounds of birds and the gentle flow of the stream. The sunlight filtering through the trees enhanced the peaceful and beautiful surroundings. This image captures a moment of that serene walk, reflecting the true essence of Kamikochi.
