Last week, I stopped by Doryu Falls in Hokuto City, Yamanashi Prefecture while visiting Nobeyama. It takes about 15 minutes to walk along a relatively flat path from the parking lot to get there. I soaked in a lot of negative ions.

This photo of the autumn leaves, Mount Fuji, and Lake Shojin was taken around 7 AM on November 14, 2025, in Fujikawaguchikomachi, Minamitsuru-gun, Yamanashi Prefecture. I arrived at Lake Shojin in the middle of the night and waited for sunrise to capture this moment. The vibrant red leaves and the sunlight made me feel excited, making me forget the morning chill.

🐉✨What if the Dragon God appeared in Shosenkyo Gorge...?✨🐉 This is an AI-generated image inspired by Kakuen Peak, the main peak of Shosenkyo. Kakuen Peak is a rocky peak approximately 180 meters high, and it is said to have been named after a monk named Kakuen who once practiced Zen meditation at its summit. Shosenkyo is also said to be a pathway for the flow of good energy known as the "Dragon Vein," which extends from Mount Fuji to the Imperial Palace. As I recall these stories, I wonder, "If the Dragon God resided on Kakuen Peak, what would it look like...?" This image was born from such imagination.😊 Of course, the Dragon God hasn't actually appeared, but while walking in Shosenkyo, one can often feel a mysterious power and stories within the majestic rocky peaks and canyon scenery. When you visit Shosenkyo, take a moment to look up at the sky and the rocky peaks, and imagine your own version of a dragon! *The image is an AI-generated illustration.* #Shosenkyo #Yamanashi Tourism #Power Spot #AI Art #Generative AI
