Fuji was not visible at the end of the long Fujimizaka slope
After turning off the busy Mejiro Street onto a side street, a long, straight downhill slope appeared. It is Fujimi Slope. There are many “Fujimi Slopes” in Tokyo, and this is one of them. However, the view of Mt. Fuji that the name suggests cannot be seen from this slope. Fuji, as its name implies, is no longer visible from this slope. The view that used to be there is only a small remnant of the name. Fuji from this slope, the Tokyo sky must have been much more spacious and open.
A little further down the hill, I quietly look in the direction where Mt. Fuji. There was nothing but a landscape of buildings piled on top of each other, but I suddenly caught sight of a father and son. A boy is walking happily holding hands with his father. The little boy was holding his father's hand and walking with it raised high in the air, giving off a sense of innocent openness that reminded me of the wide-open skies of the past.
