Azusa River flows, turquoise and free,
In Kamikochi’s tranquility, beneath the trees,
Morning whispers through fresh green hue,
Nature’s beauty, always true.

Story Behind the Photo – A Morning Stroll Along the Azusa River
In early June, I set out early in the morning, walking along the Azusa River from Myojin Bridge to Kasumizawa Bridge. It took about two and a half hours to reach the bridge. Although the sky was mostly cloudy, the turquoise blue of the river, filled with spring meltwater, was breathtaking. I stood on the bridge, mesmerized by the river’s beauty.
From an Amateur Photographer’s Perspective – Capturing the Turquoise Blue
Walking along the Azusa River, I was captivated by its vivid turquoise blue. Without a polarizing filter, I couldn’t reduce the surface reflections, but I still managed to capture the stunning color of the river. The clear, calm water reflected the surrounding greenery, perfectly showcasing Kamikochi’s natural beauty in this photograph.
