You don’t get to see much of the countryside in Japan, but it is my favorite place to visit. It’s a lot slower paced, restaurants are even more ma and pa, and everyone is usually so friendly.

Photography with the Fuji X100T and XT1

These photos were shot in the mountains of Kumamoto, Japan. I think the exact area is called Yamato, but I’m unsure. The area we were in was the location of the Tsūjun Bridge: a breathtaking location and a great place to go crazy with my Fuji X100T and XT1 combo.

For these photos, I used the old VSCO Lightroom Presets.

Tsūjun Bridge

The Tsūjun Bridge was part of an old aqueduct built in Japan in 1854. Today, they release water from it for about 20 minutes as a show.

I didn’t know what to expect or how long the water would flow when I came here, so this is on my list of places to return to. There are a few other really great angles you can shoot it from, combine that with some cherry blossoms or the autumn leaves and it could be a fantastic landscape photo.
