    Lake Kawaguchi was my favorite place during my trip too. I sat on a rock by the shore of the lake for about 3 or 4 hours taking some timelapses but man, being there hit me hard. At some point I just broke down in tears because I couldn't believe I had finally made it there and how beautiful it is. Edit: also really like the style of some of your wakkanai photos, mixing negative space with a really geometric look but it being landscapes, amazing stuff Edit2: any coupons for your books? (doesn't hurt to ask :P)

    saved for reference, and shared for fun! Those locations look amazing. I would find it hard to pick a good spot there since there were so many great angles down every damn street. Some of my most popular photos from Japan are of course the deer at Nara, but also just a side street near our AirBnB in Kyoto!
