I’ve remarked on this blog here that Restaurant Matsuri at my hotel enjoys a magnificent view of the castle both by day and night.
I haven’t been able to show pictures of this from within the restaurant itself so far, as I’m usually just rushing out of the hotel each early morning to make the 7:40 AM train, and the restaurant itself only opens at 7:00 AM for breakfast every morning – and that’s not counting the 18 minutes it takes for me to walk to the train station itself. Breakfast, in other words, for all my teaching days is a mad rush.
Still, my Thursday activities started an hour later than normal yesterday, so I managed to enjoy a more leisurely breakfast that morning, and also take a few quick pictures. Most mornings I get to occupy my usual table, which is a nice private spot at the corner of the restaurant with a great view of the castle and it near the breakfast spread too.
The other picture below is a HDR composition merged from 5 pictures, taken from the balcony garden beside the restaurant. Yep I had to step out into the freezing cold for a couple of minutes, put the D300 on bracket + high-speed drive mode exposures, fired away, and ran back into the warm restaurant interior.:)
