This photograph captures Mount Myōgi through a telephoto lens, framed by rice paddies just before harvest. The contrast between the mountain's imposing presence and the serene landscape of the fields is striking. Mount Myōgi is renowned for its dynamic mountain range featuring a series of bizarre rock formations. Counted among Japan's Three Great Scenic Wonders, its appearance makes it a popular, photogenic spot. Its expressions change richly with the seasons: spring wrapped in fresh greenery, summer contrasting against blue skies, autumn in vibrant colors, and winter blanketed in white. It's worth visiting year-round. Especially when combined with rural landscapes or satoyama, you can capture a memorable shot blending grandeur and simplicity.
