Greetings
Thank you everyone for your amazing entries in the 3nd COOL JAPAN VIDEOS Photo Contest.
We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude for the numerous high-quality photos that were submitted to us, as in the previous contest.
The photos submitted by all of you were full of wonderful things that elicited a variety of emotions, including places to throw on your bucket list, the charms of winter in Japan, the beauty of snow and nature, photos that make you feel nostalgic, photos that remind us of our childhood, and more!
We are not professionals when it comes to photography, so we chose photos that we thought exemplified the theme "Winter in Japan," and that resonated with our judges.
We would also like to express our sincere gratitude to those who were unfortunately not selected.
Looking forward, we will continue to devise various ways to convey the charms of Japan to people all over the world and create a website designed with user friendliness in mind so that as many people as possible can enjoy the site.
We will continue to hold COOL JAPAN VIDEOS photo contests on a regular basis.
We hope that by continuing to encourage people to post information about Japan, more and more people will discover the country's charms and come to visit Japan after the world has overcome the coronavirus pandemic.
Thank you for your continued support of COOL JAPAN VIDEOS!

This photo conveys the quiet of the snow and makes the viewer feel as though time has stopped.
This is a precious shot of both "Diamond Dust" and a "Sun Pillar," a combination of phenomena that can only be seen in winter under the right conditions.
This is one of those photos through which you can really feel the beauty of nature in Japan.
Perhaps it's delivering New Year's cards through the quiet streets?
We thought it was a picture that conveyed the atmosphere of the Japanese New Year.
This seems to be a parent and child at Jigokudani Monkey Park.
You can feel the love between them from the photo.
The monkeys warming themselves in the hot spring in the harsh winter of Japan, which covers the country in snow for roughly 1/3 of the year, conveys just how present mother nature is in Japan.
Migratory birds from the north come to Japan for the winter, spend winter in Japan, and return back north after winter has passed.

We're happy to see that this traditional game, which has been around since the Edo period, has been passed down to today's children.
The cold winter air and the warmth of the sun's rays are so gentle that it almost feels as if they're watching over you.
We'd like to award the Grand Prize to the photo that evokes said nostalgia.
