(2 weeks of) Fall in Tokyo

©Haris Bahrudin

After living here in Tokyo for almost 4 years now, I can say Tokyo has almost no spring or fall. Spring or fall here only last for about 2 weeks. This year was a very good example. It was summer (of death) till the end of October this year. Then it was rainy season. Two weeks ago, the weather was just fine, not too hot, not too cold (a.k.a fall season?). But now suddenly the temperature has fallen. You can't really call it winter here. First, because there is almost no snow in Tokyo and second, the temperature rarely goes below zero. Here's my guide to Tokyo's 4 seasons.

So 'winter' is here, but what happened to fall? Here are some photos (and video) of fall foliages in Tokyo that I managed to capture. The peak time to see fall foliages in Tokyo is early December. Enjoy!

My Photo Published!

Ever since I started this hobby, I received a couple of request from companies or individuals for permission to use my photos and I usually give them the permission as long as they link it back to me. All the request I received are for online use. Until 2 weeks ago, I received an email from the editor of No. 1 Shinbun asking me to have my photos featured in their printed magazine. I couldn't agree more. Plus, they also agreed to pay me some amount of money for my photos. It is always exciting to see your work printed. I haven't receive the printed version yet but here are the digital version. Click for larger view. Original photos here.




*I'm adding new code/script to this page for the light box function. Larger photo with dark background should appear if you click on the photos. If you notice any problem or browser incompatibility please let me know.

Mt Fuji: I come, I see, I conquer.

Mt Fuji. Taken with my iPhone from inside the bus.

There is an old saying about My. Fuji. "If you never climb Mt. Fuji, you are a fool, and if you climb it more than once, you are a fool." I made it to the top, and will climb it again if there is a chance. (so I'm a fool or not?) I started climbing from the 5th station at around 9.30 PM and reached the 9th station around 3.45 AM. As the horizon began to to turn orange, I decided to stay at 9th station and wait for the sunrise there because the route to the top was too crowded, and my priority was to set up my camera on a tripod and enjoy the sunrise. I was lucky as I didn't suffer from altitude sickness as I reached the summit. Here are some photos. Enjoy. Erm, sorry, I'm more to nature photography, so no photo of people.
