Shosenkyo Gorge

Last Sunday we took a trip here. Go on, click on the link, just to see the photos. Then you can come straight back and continue reading this post. I'll wait...

still waiting...

Done it yet?

OK, so you would have seen that the photos are very beautiful and make you wonder what sort of colour enhancement feature they used in Photoshop. They say that the best time of year to go is late October to mid November. We went on the 23rd of November, so we only missed the "best" window by a week. Here's a snippet of what we saw (and I promise that none of these photos have been enhanced at all):













Pretty noice, hey?

To get to Shosenkyo Gorge from Numazu, take the Shizuoka train to Fuji, and then another train from Fuji to Kofu. Buses leave outside Kofu station to the gorge. There are more details about the buses (and trains) on that website I posted a link to.

Wonderful shots! Wow, well done. Was it you or hubby who took those? I especially love the one of the autumn leaves and the waterfall, but they're all lovely!

Much as I would love to take credit for these photos, I can't. Craig took 'em all.
