From Kurumayama to Washigamine, the Kirigamine Plateau continues with gentle undulations. Seasonal alpine plants such as Astragalus azalea, Nikko kisuge, and Matsumushiso dye the green meadow in various colors. Mt. Fuji, the Alps, the Yatsugatake mountain range, and other famous peaks that Japan are proud of are also overlooked. Kirigamine Plateau is also known as the birthplace of Japan gliders because of its abundant updrafts in the area, making it suitable for glider flight. Cited from Kirigamine Kogen tourism website.

"Ice Trees and the Rising Sun" I was about to give up due to the ridiculously strong wind and the cold cloudiness, Somehow, it cleared up at sunrise and the view changed to a superb view at once. I am very satisfied to be able to photograph the ice trees that can only be seen in winter. Location: Nagano

"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.

It is located in Beppu City, Oita Prefecture, from an unpopular area. On this day, the snow was unusual.

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.

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.

What a cute photo! I remember when I went to Akita, I don't remember the name of the flower park I'd have to look it up, but they had a small rabbit enclosure there and it was really neat getting to see them just hopping around munching on carrots and stuff. The place had some really good ice cream as well so that was a big plus. Speaking of ice cream, I just remembered the babahera ice that I had in Akita. That stuff was really good as well. It was like a sort of sherbet I think, but apparently it's only sold by old ladies which is how it got its name. I guess that's an interesting fact that I have to share today. If you're ever in Akita be sure to keep an eye out for it. I think I tried it somewhere around Lake Tazawa

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
