#101- First flight with #mavicair at Yamanakako, Kawaguchiko and Saiko around Mt.Fuji. I found a lot of new locations during this 2 day trip around Fuji-san in the rainy and foggy day. Some of my shots will be a bit dark and cannot see Mt.Fuji but the nature in Japan still be stunning!
View around Yamanaka Lake 山中湖 is the popular location at Lake Yamanaka Panorama Deck 山中湖 パノラマ台 and Yamanakako Communication Plaza 山中湖交流プラザ きらら.
Then Lake Saiko 西湖, I drove around to find a good spot and found on nearby Saiko Rest House 西湖レストハウス at the end of the Lake. From here I flew a drone around a mountain curve to show a full view of the Lake Saiko and it was gorgeous.
Then back to Lake Kawaguchi 河口湖, the most popular lake in the Five Lake of Fujisan. I went to another side which is not popular and very quite. There are short walking route around the lake which is found awesome for drone shot to show the full lake scene and show how Japanese town was built together with the lake. The route starts from the sport complex house 河口湖ジェットビレッジレンタルジェット&BBQ. Along the way there were full of hydrangea (Ajisai) あじさい which even made it better. From the shot here I turned my drone a bit to Fujisan and lucky! I found the shadow of Fujisan, really easy to imagine how awesome it will be if I could see the mountain clearly.
I am still practicing how to use the Magic Air which is very fun drone to play and come with the good video recorder. I recorded with only 1080p because I want to take advantage of 60-120fps but next time I will do 4K instead! I need to practice more on controlling custom exposure and color balance also!
Shot with Mavic Air, 1080p 60fps.
Additional: I stayed at Fuji Guesthouse Ao 富士ゲストハウス蒼. It is very great place to stay overnight for cheap, clean and comfortable (depends on your dorm roommate………..).
