The Castle in the Sky...
The Ono basin is surrounded by mountains.
Echizen Ono Castle aka Castle in the Sky was built at Kameyama located in the central area of Ono City, with an elevation of about 249m.
You will find the castle town hidden below the sea of clouds. As the sea of clouds disappears, the castle town reappears. When you look at this scenery, you will feel magical as if you were wandering around ancient Ono.
My name is Nicolas Wauters, and I'm a landscapes photographer living in Japan.
Since I was a kid, I have always been attracted by new technologies, video games, computer software, photography and first of all by "Tokyo."
Thoses passions brought me to discover Japan, a country who fascinates me, for its "new technologies" as much as for its "ultra urban" side, but also for is culture and its traditions.
After several successive trips, in 2013, I packed up my suitcase and flew to the Japanese Capital to live my dream at 100%.
Later on, I decided to share my passion and knowledge for Tokyo and Japan through my photos and tours.
Through my pictures, I try to immortalize a Japan, most of the time removed from the crowd of its inhabitants. I'm trying to change the vision of a very noisy and populous country by taking pictures of very well-known places with fewer people possible.
Of course the permanent crowd is a big part of a city, especially in Tokyo that has no less than 40 million inhabitants. But trough my work; I wish to offer the quintessence of the capital and for this I constantly seek these privileged moments of privacy that I have in Tokyo.
I love photos of landscapes, urban landscapes, architecture and night streets.
