We went to Shosenkyo Gorge today, it's located just outside of Kofu City and very close to the surrounding mountains including Mt Fuji. On the drive up to the gorge we decided to pull over and take a photo of the city, we asked the three guys to move out of the way of the shot but they wouldn't listen...
As we was climbed the amount of trees were growing, there was very little rock around:
While going to the gorge we found Arakawa Dam:
Although there wasn't much water flowing through, there was a massive amount of water being expelled near the bottom of the dam:
As we continued on towards the gorge we had to pullover suddenly and hop out of the car! In an effort to save petrol we decided to open our windows and switch off the air conditioning but then a massive hornet came into the car.. it must of been an inch or so in size!! Once the hornet ejected itself from the vehicle we casually made our way back... we wasn't worried at all! A little further on we found these:
Just before going to the gorge we found a temple and paid that a visit:
There was this amazing looking fountain just outside the gorge as well:
The video of the gorge is to follow shortly..
