Walk along Honcho Street, the famous Mt. Fuji Photo Spot | Yamanashi, Japan 🇯🇵 | 4K Tour Binaural

👋🏼 Hello! Today, Jiji goes to Fujiyoshida! We started our walk from Mt. Fuji Station and headed to “Honcho Street”, which is 1.5km away or about 20-minute walk. You may not have heard of the place Fujiyoshida Honcho Street (富士吉田の本町通り), but you probably have seen on social media the photo of Mount Fuji with a charming retro street on the foreground. This is where everyone takes that same shot 😅

📸 And of course Jiji had to take some photos too! Most of the photos were taken with the Sony FE 90mm f2.8 and a few were taken with the Sony FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM II Lens. We think our best photos were taken with the Sony FE 90mm because the longer focal length provides compression, making distant objects appear larger and closer together. This helped captured the grandeur of Mount Fuji 🗻 Follow Jiji on Instagram to see more of her photographs: https://instagram.com/jiashibali
