📸 Picture of the week - Shiraito Falls

We were planning to post a picture of the pink moss from the Fuji Shibazakura Festival but our picture from the Shiraito Falls just turned out too perfect. We were so lucky with the weather that we got to see Mt. Fuji wherever we went. This is really not an everyday condition so we needed to share this incredible shoot with you! ✨
