Introducing the post of the "Rising Sun ASAHI GROUP CHAIN" official account! The warm light of the candle is beautiful.

The Tottori Sand Dunes in Tottori Prefecture are one of the largest sand dunes in the Japan, and when snow falls in winter and accumulates on the dunes, the dunes show a different look. The snowy dunes illuminated by the setting sun are very beautiful.

I went to the killing stone in the Nasu Highlands. In February, the Nasu Highlands were covered with snow and we couldn't go to the observatory. However, it was nice to have a foot bath.

Biei is located almost in the center of Hokkaido and has gentle hills. It is full of tourists from spring to autumn, but the snowy winter is also attractive. The blue pond, which became famous when it was previously used as a wallpaper for MacBook, is lit up at night in winter. There was a Biei light-up tour, so I was able to go easily. The blue pond covered with pure white snow was very beautiful in the fantastic illumination.

Niikurayama Sengen Shrine where you can see the Japan-like Mt. Fuji and the five-storied pagoda together. It is famous for the cherry blossom season in spring, but the snowy scenery with snow in winter is also the best. I thought it wasn't that crowded at this time of year, but when I arrived at 6 a.m., it was full of photographers.

Hyakutoo. Two-linked! I feel like I haven't seen a two-car train of Kiha 110 in a long time...

Binchuku Branch Temple in Soja City, Okayama Prefecture. Does it snow in winter about once every five years? The snowy landscape and the five-storied pagoda match very well.

During the winter, Abashiri lake becom a completely frozen lake. One even can walk in the middle of the lake. During this time smelt fishing is a very popular and exciting events in hokkaido. Several people come here and make a tent. Inside the tent they create a whole by digging out the snow to reach the lake water. Then they do fishing. Although the weather usually very cold but still it provide a great pleasure. In addition to this smelt fishing one can also enjoy the drift ice from the nearby Abashiri port

Night view of Mt. Fuji It was very cold, but the air was clear. I was able to encounter the splendid Mt. Fuji. This is the view from the Lake Yamanaka Panorama Platform. If it's a clear day, you can see a superb view of Mt. Fuji even during the day. Recommended spot Mt. Fuji in winter is the best.

Enjoying the winter wonderland Abashiri. This spot is very famous fr drift ice festival, snow festival and also smelt fishing in lake abashiri. Wherever we go we see only white and white. Here we are enjoying the the miniature iglu which also protect us from the strong cold wind coming from the okhotsk bay. Photo taken by using timer.

Okhotsk Ryuhyo Museum reopened on January 20, 2023! You can enjoy the feeling as if you are exploring under the drift ice.

The houses lined up by the sea look as if they are floating on the sea. The first floor housed boats, and the second floor was used as a drying area for nets and fishing gear. I was finally able to go to Ine's boathouse. I enjoyed the slow flow of time in a room without a TV and this view.

Omi Jingu Shrine in Otsu City, Shiga Prefecture became a snowy landscape during the big cold wave The red gate was beautiful. Date 2023.01.25

Located in Yao City, Osaka Prefecture, is the daffodil of Tamaso Shrine. Local people started planting it as volunteers. Plum trees are also planted, and it is a wonderful place where you can relax and heal in the chilly season.

This time I want to recommend abashiri, a city on the northeastern coast of hokkaido. A city that faced toward sea of okhotsk. During winter you can enjoy drift ice festival. During this season they organize Lake Abashiri smelt fishing. It was a once in a lifetime experience for us. Here in this picture we were actually walking on the frozen lake abashiri. Here one can walk in the middle of frozen lake.

Yamaguchi Prefecture is the Kintai Bridge in Iwakuni. The nails are made by kumiki without using a single nail. Before dawn, the silhouette of the beautiful bridge stands out against a red-colored background.

Red Fuji seen from Lake Yamanaka The temperature was very low, so there was a little ice on this day. I was very satisfied to see the scenery that can only be seen in this season.

The blue sky finally appeared.
