While I was walking around the area of Fujisaki Station trying to kill some time before an appointment, I found Momijihachiman-gu. Momiji is the name for Japanese maples and there were so many beautifully colored trees that I almost came late for my appointment, as I couldn't stop taking pictures and enjoying the scenery! While some trees were already vibrantly red, others were still green. The rain on that day, which I cursed in the morning, turned out to be a perfect addition to the atmosphere, since it made the maple leaves glisten.
