With the theme of winter, I wondered what I could shoot in the Kanto region, where it doesn't snow, and the first thing that came to mind was birds. When I was looking for winter birds in the Japan, there was a bird called "Tsugumi", so I took a picture of it singing. By the way, the most important thing I tried to do in this shoot was to stand at the same level as the birds. I thought that by standing on the same line of sight, I could see the scenery as "Tsugumi" sees.

This photo was taken at Serigaya Park in Machida City, Tokyo. The season was winter, and as the autumn leaves were coming to an end, I was able to take photos that made me feel winter. Until we meet again.

I took a picture of the back of my parents' dog warming up by the stove with a Polaroid camera. It seems to be cold, and in winter it is always in front of the stove or in the flame. I like the stove, which I don't often see in the city, and has a sense of home.

At the Snow Festival in Iiyama City, Nagano Prefecture

It is a morning scene with snow and icicles piled up in the rice fields blurred

In the 69th order of the Nakasendō, the pure Nakasendō 67-juku (from Itabashi to Moriyama), which surpasses Kusatsu and Otsu-juku shared with the Tokaido, Narai-juku is the 34th post town in the middle of the Nakasendō, counting from Itabashi-juku on the Edo side and Moriyama-juku on the Kyoto side. The post town that prospered with many travelers at the highest altitude of the 11 Kiso inns, ahead of the difficult Torii Pass, was called "Narai Senken". The townscape has been selected as a national important preservation district for groups of traditional buildings, and retains a strong trace of the past. Quote from Narai-juku Tourist Association Narai-juku

"Illuminate the footprints" I took a picture of the morning sun climbing near Mt. Yokote and the footprints of animals left in the snowfield. Although it was cold, I was very satisfied that I was able to take a picture of the light streak. Location: Nagano Shiga Kogen

I love the reflection the bridge and surrounding treeline makes on the surface of the river in this photo. Really beautiful stuff. I'd like to visit Aizu-Wakamatsu because I've heard that Aizu-Wakamatsu Castle is awesome and also the local sake in the area is supposed to be really good as well. I'm not too familiar with the area but I know Aizu-Wakamatsu is surrounded by mountains and that Mt. Bandai is over there. Maybe that's it in the background? I'm not too sure, but whatever the case may be it's a really breathtaking photo. Japan's snowscapes really are a gift that keeps on giving. Especially this year there's a ton of beautiful landscapes like this and getting to see them posted everywhere is really great. Everyone has such amazing photos it makes me want to try my hand at photography ?. Maybe someday, we'll see lol

In Sapporo City, Hokkaido, at the bicycle parking lot of a certain shopping mall. It is not uncommon for sleds to be a means of transportation for small children in Hokkaido, but I took a picture of two brightly colored sleds lined up in a bicycle parking lot in the middle of winter when there are no bicycles. On the way home, I can imagine small children who seem to be having fun on this sled and parents pulling their belongings home with their purchases.

Car coated on ice. The power of nature is amazing.
