When the Sunrise begins to quietly illuminate Fuji, the city is still enveloped in a drowsy atmosphere. A corner of a small town near Lake Kawaguchi. Through the signboard of a convenience store and the roof of an old building, the majestic figure of Fuji appears. The soft light from the eastern sky paints the snowy slopes in gold, as if the whole mountain is slowly waking up. "Sunshine Gold Mountain" – the very moment. The art of silence and light is condensed into this moment. In the foreground, a traveler stares at the scene. Impression and respect are conveyed from his back, which he just looks up without exchanging words. An extraordinary beauty that is right Soba the everyday. The moment when you stand on that boundary fills your heart deeply.

Lake Kawaguchi is enveloped in the silence before dawn. It's 5:30 a.m., There is a the world is still asleep, and countless stars are quietly twinkling in the sky. On the other side of the lake, Fuji stands quietly, covered in snow, and its dignified appearance is reflected in the clear surface of the lake like a mirror. Upside-down Fuji to perfection. Just by being there, the divinity beyond words touches the heart. The lights of the Lakeside sway softly on the surface of the water, adding warmth to the darkness. There was no wind, and it was as if time had stopped. This is the moment when Nature and human activities quietly come together. Before the start of the day, the world is enveloped in such a beautiful tranquility.
