This is a photo of a snowy day in "Naramachi" in Nara City, Nara Prefecture. Nara City does not have much snow, and it has snowed for the first time in several years, and the cityscape that I have loved from the beginning has become even more attractive due to the snowy scenery.

Narusawa Ice Cave! After all it's so beautiful ?.

It is a piece in a traditional hot spring town in Japan. As the snow flickered, the steam from the hot springs also gushed out, and the seasonal flavors and sightseeing spots blended well.

Sunrise in Biei The weather forecast was bad, so I was prepared for it, but I could see a little sunny, so I used a slow shutter.

Morning Mist no Tancho Crane @ Otowa Bridge I bought a ticket for Hokkaido because I wanted to go here. There were many people even though it was the end of the year. It was a warm winter, but we managed to generate river fog.

This is Tsuruga Castle in Fukushima Prefecture! It was even whiter from the snow and it was beautiful!

This is Ouchi-juku, Fukushima Prefecture!

Man this is so cool! Leave it to Kyoto to have not only tons of amazing temples and shrines, but also some historic boat houses! Looking at this just gets me raring to go fishing lol. It's been so long since I've been. It'd probably be a good idea to get my own tackle and go for a fishing trip. I could even try making my own sushi although idk how great it would taste ?The second picture in the article makes it look like paradise too. I'd love to visit the hot spring as well. I have a public bath near my place but I haven't been able to get out to an actual hot spring lately. Ine looks like a great place though, really rustic and detached from the every day hustle and bustle of the city. Just one more thing to add to my bucket list when I visit Kyoto again!

Aomori Prefecture Hachinohe City Kabushima Shrine I went to the "Zodiac Fireworks Rising Luck Prayer Festival" 2021! Countdown fireworks again this year 2021.1.1 Launched at 0:00!

I ate Yaeyama soba at a popular restaurant called Aftersummer on Ishigaki Island. The soup was based on pork bones and bonito flakes, and although it was salty but sweet, it went perfectly with the yellow medium thick noodles and was very delicious! I would definitely like to eat it again if I have a chance!

Wow, I really liked this video. Great music too! It seems like Nagiso has a ton of stuff to do. It felt like I was on a journey just watching it. I haven't heard of this place, maybe it's one of those hidden gems I guess, as I can't see how it wouldn't be super popular. I'd love to head out here during the summer and see the waterfalls in the area too. The part at 6:50 looks like it could even be a waterslide but I doubt you can swim here lol (I'll be reading more about this...). Also, WOW! Momosukebashi Bridge looks so cool! I'm not one of those guys to fawn over bridges but this bridge has some really cool architecture. It looks really awesome sitting over the bed of white rocks as well. The festivals look fun too. The Hanauma Festival with the horses carrying charms? on their backs looks interesting. Hopefully it doesn't scare them too much though. Maybe next summer or spring I can head out here to see the waterfalls or cherry blossoms! That, or maybe even the harvest moon!

This is a really fitting video for this time of year. It's already getting really cold and beautiful snowscapes are starting to pop up all over the place. It's pretty unfortunate that coronavirus has made everything so hectic around the world, as I would have really loved to go to the Sapporo Snow Festival this year. Unfortunately it was cancelled, which is probably for the best, but maybe I can go check it out next year. I'd love to head over to Akita to check out some of the igloos too, as that sounds really interesting and I don't know much about the area. This article has a ton of places that I'll be adding to my list of travel destinations for the future! Idk about the snowboarding though, it's been a few years since I last went and I don't think it'd be too good on my knees lol! I hear the slopes in Japan are great though, so who knows, I might give it another shot if I head out to Zao!

I ate a tofu set meal at a restaurant called Tofu no Higa on Ishigaki Island. The original taste of tofu was very delicious, and I could eat it without seasoning. I want to eat it again!

Another thing that's so amazing about Japan. The nature here is just incredible. Back where I'm from, there's no way you'd find a place that's just nestled amongst the trees like this. On top of that, the rustic feel just completely removes you from the every day city life. What's even more amazing about this is that it's not like this is something that's uncommon and can only be found in a select few places. Gorgeous places like this can be found all over Japan, and they all have something unique about them. It's like everywhere you look there's something beautiful to be found. That food looks amazing too! lol

RICCA's seasonal dessert "Rikka" is located in Yamaga City, Kumamoto Prefecture, the largest chestnut production area in the western Japan. The paste is made with only chestnuts aged for about four weeks after harvest and a little sugar, so you can enjoy the presence of chestnuts like never before. Inside is fresh cream and chestnut gelato.

Japan people's table. Eating out today. To the sharecropping of Lake Kawaguchi. The third installment. On this day, in addition to Tenju and Uncle, of course I also ordered Hoto. I ate the normal one last time I came, so this time it tasted spicy. After all it was delicious. Next time, I'm aiming for Houto Fudo.

Japan people's table. Eating out today. To the sharecropping of Lake Kawaguchi. It is a popular restaurant where there is a line all day. I went in the evening aiming for a time when it seemed to be free, but I waited 45 minutes. It's a famous restaurant, but I love the shrimp tenju here. The space between the seats is wide, so I enjoyed it with peace of mind.
