Japan (日本) - One photo a day - Page 3

Urban jungle: this picture was shot in the neighborhood of Ochanomizu (御茶ノ水) in Central Tokyo. This is Tokyo in all its beautiful craziness: several subway and train lines crossing each other on different levels, a river, small buildings, tall buildings, even a Japanese guy with a camera to the right who seems to be watching the whole scene; this picture is really multi-level and multi-layer. Where else in the world can you see such a complicated and fascinating urban landscape?

The gate belongs to Itsukushima Shrine, considered to be the most beautiful shrine in Japan.

Japan is just impressive, exotic... and all the positive adjectives you know

The pictures I've seen here are...

Are there any national parks (or natural areas) in Japan??

Brisavoine really has a talent for these kind of threads... wonder where he finds these amazing photos!

Of course. Contrary to what many Westerners imagine, only 30% of Japan is inhabited. 70% of the country are wild areas with close to little inhabitants. This is a much higher percentage than in most European countries.

I'm planning to post a picture of wildland soon.

A brigade of sweeping and gardening monks at the Zen Buddhist temple of Engaku-ji (円覚寺), in Kanagawa Prefecture, to the south of Tokyo. The Engaku-ji is one of the most important Zen Buddhist temple complexes in Japan.

The three Chinese characters hung below the roof of the wooden hall in the picture are the name of the hall (they mean "Pine Peak Temple" in English). This is only one of the many halls in the Engaku-ji temple complex.

Autumn colors: only 33 km (21 miles) from the edge of the sprawling Osaka metropolitan area, and 79 km (49 miles) from the heart of Central Osaka, here is the wild coastline near the town of Yuasa (湯浅), in Wakayama Prefecture, during the beautiful Japanese Autumn season.

No words to describe that!!

Beautiful landscape!

Mishevy · January 13th, 2009, 12:45 AM

The thing that amazes me the most in Japan is the sharp contrast between the ultra urban and pure wilderness.
