citylikeyou — Mt.Nikko Shirane — Tokyo by Yosuke Yajima

Tokyo / Place

This mountain is known as one of the top one hundred famous mountains in Japan. And is one of the highest mountains in the Tokyo area. I went mountaineering at the end of last autumn, and felt cold at the summit. The views changed as winds pushed away thick clouds, and I felt that winter was just around the corner. Scenery is breathtaking. It is recommended as a mountain comparatively easy to climb.

Address
Mt.Nikko Shirane, katashina-mura tone-gun, Tokyo, Japan

The Tokyo Tower is a symbol of Tokyo, and also it's sending electromagnetic waves such as television waves. In other words, if it wasn't for this tower Japan wouldn't be enlightened with important news and truth from the outside world. At 332.5 metres, it is the second tallest artificial structure in Japan.

Izu-Oshima is a small island which takes about two and a half hours by speedboat from the center of Tokyo. It is 120km away, but still is "Tokyo". The island welcomes you with a distinctive landscape, having Mt.Mihara, a sacred volacano at the center. Travelers will fully realize how small they are facing the majestic landscape of Izu-Oshima.

Tokyo / Shop

Visiting POSTALCO brought me to this area of the city for the first time. With a fascination of their beautifully crafted stationery papers, I went to see their other original accessories, apparel collection and selected books too. It's a peaceful corner to quiet mind and re-imagine our contemporary style of writing / reading / creating.
