Highlights and Photo Spots for the Wind Chimes at Kamisuwa Station
The wind chimes at Kami-Suwa Station are a unique summer photo spot where you can enjoy the colorful wind chimes displayed throughout the station. The rows of wind chimes hanging overhead and the refreshing paper strips add a vibrant touch to the station interior, allowing you to enjoy a quintessentially summery scene even while waiting for your train. Another appealing aspect is the ability to capture the transparency and beautiful arrangement of the wind chimes while making the most of the station’s interior lighting and backdrop, which differ from those outdoors.
Key points for photography
The key to taking this photo is to look up diagonally from below the wind chimes and compose the shot so that multiple wind chimes overlap. By focusing on a single wind chime and blurring the ones in the background, you can capture the transparency of the glass and create a sense of depth. When shooting the entire scene with a wide-angle lens, it’s best to find a spot where the station’s signage and facilities aren’t too distracting, and to compose the shot so that the colors and arrangement of the wind chimes stand out.
