Where is Mount Fuji?

It has been a lifelong ambition of mine to go to Japan and watch a race at the Fuji Speedway. Fuji Speedway is a technical yet fast racetrack at the foothill of Mount Fuji, a perfect backdrop from which to watch round 7 of the World Endurance Championship 2017.

I was invited by a good friend of mine who races in the WEC for TDS Racing in the LMP2 category. A perfect opportunity to visit this mythical place, I thought.

So, with my new Leica M10 in my hand-luggage I traveled all the way to Tokyo where I was welcomed by a mighty rain storm. It turned out that this storm would last all weekend.

Despite the poor weather conditions and a shortened race, I had a great weekend. It was my first visit to Japan and I fell in love with the place immediately. I had plenty of opportunities to photograph and I hope you enjoy the results.

I cannot wait to visit again and perhaps next time I can get a glimpse of Mount Fuji. It is supposed to be amazing.
