Mt. Fuji and the Milky Way over Lake Kawaguchi – Takemochi Yuki, Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan. “This location is called Fujiyama Twin Terrace. At night, you can get there by climbing some steps from the parking lot for about an hour. I captured this image on 9 April 2022, around 3am. This is the only time in spring that you can take a picture of this night view, with Mt. Fuji and the Milky Way. In winter, it becomes difficult to reach the road, since it’s covered in snow. When it gets warmer in the summer, the Milky Way rises to the west and it’s out of frame. I photographed different exposures for the different areas of the scene to balance all the light”.
