A spectacular sea of clouds appeared over Mount Oe in Fukuchiyama, Kyoto Prefecture, on the morning of September 30, turning the mist a deep crimson as the sun rose. This phenomenon, known in Japan as a sea of clouds, occurs when radiative cooling causes water vapor near the ground to condense into mist, forming a blanket of clouds across the landscape.
As sunlight reaches the mist, it takes on a reddish glow, producing an almost otherworldly scene. The cold morning temperatures and recent rainfall created favorable conditions for the spectacle, which left visitors in awe.
