Away from the City

It was good to be away from Tokyo for just a few days and even if it was for work. Unfortunately the weather wasn't that nice which meant that Mt. Fuji remained hidden for the most time while we were there. This is Tozanso the YMCA camp in Gotemba. It is in a nice area and the thing about I like the most about the grounds are all the Japanese maple trees. They are not all cut back and minature but have been let to grow to there hearts content. There is something about the paticular green of these trees leaves that I always like. I think this shade of green should have its own name and place in a box of crayola. Japanese maple leaf green. I think this one tree in the middle of the grounds is my favorite in maybe all of Japan.
