Oshino Hakkai has eight ponds that spring from the rain and snowmelt of Mt. Fuji. It used to be a sacred place, but many people still visit it as a power spot. On snowy winter days, the nostalgic mountain village scenery becomes even more attractive. I was finally able to see the snowy scenery of Oshino Hakkai

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... (^_^;) I also love the three mountains of Echigo, but this point that can be taken in the back of Gongendo is my favorite.

Oshino Hakkai is a unique spot in the Fuji Five Lakes regional which is also a mount fuji world heritage site having super clear blue water pond. From there you can see a brilliant view of Mt.Fuji between traditional thatched roof buildings, and a slowly rotating water wheel, that will surely give you an old-day charm. Another good thing is this place is looks unique and charming in any season of the year.

Red Fuji ? seen from Lake Yamanaka in winter The view of Mt. Fuji dyed red was truly superb. You can take such powerful photos. I thought it was only Mt. Fuji. (using a telephoto lens)

Nature itself is a treasure to any true traveler. But this place is literally a treasure hunt spot in Japan. Itoigawa's Jade Beach is a special place and one can guess that by its name. This beautiful pebble beach stretches 4 km from east to west and jade stones wash onto the shore after a day of strong waves, and tourists can be seen enjoying themselves searching for fresh jade stones. We also picked up some stones and the experience was truly amazing.

Kibara School in Iida, Nagano Prefecture It is a wonderful location that will leave the viewer at ease, different from the powerful view with the large weeping cherry blossoms and wooden school building used as a movie location. I'm looking forward to seeing the cherry blossoms in full bloom again this year.

Do you know the village of Shinanodaira Kamakura in Iiyama City, Nagano Prefecture? The blue scenery at dusk is called "kamakura blue". How about a fantastic romantic time?

Hakuba and Kitaone Highland are easy to climb with a single lift, so it is recommended. The sunrise view from the plateau is very wonderful.

I went to Jigokudani Monkey Park in winter. It was difficult because it was a little far from the parking lot, but the monkeys soaking in the hot spring were very cute.

Introducing the photos posted on "Everyone's Post"! This is a pickup post of the inbound tourism information SNS "Cool Japan Video". Today, I would like to introduce "Daishi Okamoto's post "Tadami Line and Snowy Scenery". The Tadami line surrounded by a world of white silver is an impressive piece. The Tadami Line is a local line 65 km after the fastest speed connecting Koide Station (Uonuma City, Niigata Prefecture) to Aizuwakamatsu Station (Aizuwakamatsu City, Fukushima Prefecture). It was damaged by heavy rain in July 2011, but on October 1, 2022, it was restored and resumed operation for the first time in 11 years. The Tadami Line, which runs through nature, is full of spectacular scenic spots. The first bridge, which has an attractive contrast between the iron bridge and nature, is especially popular, and you can enjoy the superb view of the four seasons. In addition, there are plenty of photo spots such as the 2nd ~ 4th bridge and the glasses bridge featuring a concrete arch bridge. It is a tourist destination where railway fans from all over the country gather. The Tadami Line is a hot topic for autumn leaves, but the snowy scenery in winter is also recommended. Between Aizu-Nakagawa Station ~ Aizukawaguchi Station, the snow-covered Oshi village is one of the viewpoints. From the 5th Tadami River Bridge, if the conditions are right, you can enjoy the world of white silver reflected in the Tadami River. ◆Tadami Line◆ 【Address】Fukushima, Niigata Starting point: Aizuwakamatsu Station End point: Koide Station

Disappearing into the snow... In the pouring snow, the Tadami Line heads to Aizu. Photo taken on 2023/01/21. * The photo is a composite.

Togakushi Shrine in winter The cedar trees on the approach to Okusha looked even cooler. Okusha is closed in winter, so I would like to visit it in spring.

★ The 15th COOL JAPAN VIDEOS Photo Contest is currently being ★ held under the theme of "Recommended Japan Sightseeing Spots in 2023" We look forward to receiving many applications from you! This time, we will introduce the post of "Masayasu Furuta"! The Tateyama mountain range, which floats on the sea, is spectacular. Located in Takaoka City, Toyama Prefecture, Amahara Shikaigan is popular as a scenic spot. You can see the Tateyama mountain range over the sea, and it has been selected as one of the "100 best beaches of Japan" and "100 best white sand and green pine trees". ◆Quasi-National Park Amahara Shikaigan ◆ 【Address】〒933-0135 Toyama Prefecture, Takaoka City, Ota Amaeharu 【Phone number】0766-20-1497 【Access】 About a 5-minute walk from JR Himi Line Amaeharu Station Please check the official website for details.

Beautiful red bridge, green mountain, passing clouds and deep thrilling gorge that is what I witnessed during my trip to Tateyama kurobe. The scenery of the passing train Over the longest bridge of this Kurobe gorge, Shin Yamabiko. So I recommend this particular place for 2023.

It is a rose park in Nakano City, Nagano Prefecture, or Ippongi Park. You will be enveloped in many roses and fragrances.

It is Ikushimatarushima Shrine in Ueda City, Nagano Prefecture. It seems that there is a day when the morning sun climbs from inside the torii!

When it comes to Japan, Mt. Fuji is. In particular, I like the so-called child-hugging Fuji from Lake Shoji and often go to shoot, but it was the first time I was able to see such a cap cloud and reflection on the lake surface, and I was very impressed. Mt. Fuji shows a different expression whenever I go, so I really never get tired of it.

Ono turtle in Sado, Niigata Prefecture. From late May to early June, the daylilies are in full bloom and you will be overwhelmed! It was cloudy at the time of shooting, but the sunset that shone for a moment illuminated the entire area and was very beautiful. It's a little difficult until you go to Sado, but I would like you to go and see it during this season.

A simple and powerful piece with solid red autumn leaves and Mt. Fuji from the shore of Lake Kawaguchi.

Shining in the setting sun... Snowfield! Echigo Sanzan! Tadami Line! 2023.01.11. Shooting. Compared to a while ago, the sunset is going down late... (^_^;)
