"Yatsugatake and the Milky Way in Winter" The perfect cloudless Milky Way day came, I photographed the Milky Way along with Yatsugatake at my favorite shooting point. It was the best with a starry sky! I used a soft filter to capture a large image of the stars. It is a sticking point. Location: Nagano

A bronze statue in Asago City, Hyogo Prefecture, at Himemiya Shrine. Does the snow-covered figure look like a girl celebrating her coming-of-age ceremony? It was so cute that I involuntarily released the shutter.

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.

Man that's beautiful. I read an article about this place on here as well. I really want to visit. The water is so clear it reminds me a lot of Oshino Hakkai, but I think the color of the water makes this place just a liiiiittle more beautiful. Although it's a pretty tough call lol. It's interesting how the article mentioned that the best time of year is fall to see the autumn leaves reflected on the surface of the water, but I bet spring would be just as beautiful. I guess it depends on if there's any cherry blossoms around the pond. I definitely saw maples though! I'll have to try the chimaki as well if I get the chance, I'd never heard of it until now.

In our garden (Shimane Prefecture). My nephew 4 years old and I made our first snowman ⛄ A snowman made by two people rumbling in the falling snow. By the time it's finished,?❤️ your body will be ? a little sloppy. Eyes and nose were ✨ put on with carrots It's a ? memory of winter

This is the snowy scenery when I went to Kamikawa Town in Hyogo Prefecture. I filmed the moment my husband filmed me. It is one of my favorite photos of winter.

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

The morning after the snow falls, the excitement is high. From Niikurayama Sengen Park.

Niikurayama Sengen Shrine in the early morning. Mt. Fuji is beautiful after snowfall.

What a beautiful photo! I've seen a Japanese friendship garden in Portland I think it was but this one has a totally different atmosphere. It's really cool to see the different styles. I hadn't heard of West Lake before but I looked at some pictures of it and it looks like a beautiful place. I like how the architecture of the pavilions is very similar as well. I'm certainly a fan of all of the winter scenery I've gotten to see this year, but I feel like the cherry blossoms would certainly look amazing here. That or even the foliage in the autumn. I'd like to check this out when I get the chance. It looks like there are some interesting restaurants in the area as well so I can look forward to some tasty food!

Gifu Park Japan-China Friendship Garden Snow Scenery ❄️ In 1989, Gifu City and Hangzhou City, People's Republic of China, created a garden to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the friendship city partnership, and a gate with a design full of Chinese atmosphere, earthen walls, gardens, and a pond made to imitate West Lake, a famous place in Hangzhou City. This pond is a pond that can be enjoyed throughout the four seasons. ? The cherry blossom season is famous, but the snowy scenery is also the best. When you come to Gifu, please take a walk in Gifu Park. ?

"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

Oh my god... this is just breathtaking. It's like a paradise above the clouds. I love all of the different colors of leaves that you can see. The blue skies as a backdrop makes it look like something you'd only find in a movie. I really think this settles it. Japan has the most beautiful scenery of any country I think. This is making me want to put on my boots and go for a hike. I've heard of Mt. Taisen before but I never heard the scenery was this amazing. I really like the pond in the middle too, I wonder if there are any fish in it. It'd be amazing if there were some koi in it or something. That'd just be the icing on the cake lol. Going to have some good dreams of this place tonight!

In Iiyama City, Nagano Prefecture, to the village of Kamakura. The kamakura blue seen at dusk is fantastic.

I keep seeing pictures of the Shiroyone Senmaida Rice Terraces and I really just need to go and see it myself. I don't know what it is about rice fields but they're some of the most beautiful scenery you can find in my opinion. I think that's another thing I really love about places like Akita, Saitama, etc. It really just makes me wish summer was here already. I want to go outside and enjoy a barbecue at some park. Spring would be great too, I'd get some plum wine and eat some barbecue under the cherry blossoms. I always love seeing the rice field art too, so if I can see some this year I'll be really happy. I think I saw some in Akita but I didn't get a chance to see any in Saitama yet, so maybe I'll try and find some out there and go out for a visit.

Today is Setsubun. Let's eat Ehomaki ~ This year's direction is south-southeast. ? 今天是Japan的節分日日 除了有拿豆子丟魔鬼象徵消災解厄外,還有吃惠方卷,朝著該年福神方向邊許願邊吃!

Monet's pond was ? beautiful. I want to go again!

On a cold morning in freezing temperatures, on the windshield of a car I saw an ice crystal of an unusual shape, so I took a picture of it (^-^) The blue sky in the background was mysterious and somehow romantic ✨, as if in the sea.

It's humble, but we were able to film the collaboration between Sun Pillar and Diamond Dust. It was cold, but it was worth sticking. Location: Kirigamine

Early in the morning, I photographed Mt. Fuji illuminated by the sunrise. The collaboration with the foggy in the foreground was lovely. Location: Kirigamine

The full moon was shining just during the magic hour before dawn. I pressed the shutter in conjunction with the foggy ice in front of me. Location:Nagano
