What is Jochigamine? A serene and spectacular view of Mt.
Fuji and cherry blossoms, there are many famous spots to visit, but for those who would like to try a slightly different perspective, we recommend Jochigamine, located in Fujinomiya City, Shizuoka Prefecture. This is a place that is not as glamorous as a tourist spot, but has some extra space where you can relax and enjoy the spectacular view.
Key points for photography
The point of photography is to assemble your own scenery by taking advantage of the height of your viewpoint and the way you compose your shots. Because Jōritsu-ga-mine is not a place where a completed composition is prepared like Ryūganbuchi, the impression of the photograph will vary greatly depending on where you choose to take the shot. The first thing to consider is the time of day. Again, early morning is the best time, when the air is clear and the outline of Mt. The soft light around sunrise gives a natural brightness to the cherry blossoms and brings a calm tone to the whole scene. The key to composition is to take advantage of the elevated terrain. Fuji and the cherry blossoms overlap in different ways just by changing the position slightly, so it is important to use your feet to find the best position. Fuji in the background, you can create a photo with depth.
