Ski Area Open The ski area in Nishiokoppe has opened on January 13th! It looks like local children were quick to hit the slopes 😆 On nights when the lifts operate, why not stop by for a run after work?

I took this photo at Daimonzaka on Kumano Kodo. It is very pleasant to walk on the stone steps while bathing in soft sunlight and negative ions. It has become famous on social media, but I can only hope that this nature will never be destroyed by human hands and will always be in a beautiful state.

Winter in Yamagata, surrounded by beautiful mountains

Mifune Falls in Kawakami Village, Nara Prefecture has a drop of about 50 meters, and in winter, the road is closed only for cars, so you have to walk on a snowy road for about an hour to meet it, but the icefall is worth it.

It is a rest area with a thatched roof on the Kumano Kodo Nakabeji course, "Toganoki Chaya". The autumn foliage season is wonderful, but I think the snowy scenery in winter, when there are few visitors, is even more wonderful.

The cranes gather little by little when the time comes. I don't have a watch. It's strange. It was a beautiful scenery because it was winter and because it was a snowy country.

It seems that there are many people who are fascinated by cranes and move to this Tsurui Village. There is a village in Hokkaido where cranes of human families come to each farmer and dairy farm.

Cranes are said to be natural monuments. In the past, there were only a few dozen cranes due to overfishing by humans, but with the warm support, you can meet so many cranes. It is a wonderful scenery that should be preserved for many years to come.

Beautiful winter scenery. Tokachi enjoys many clear winter days, so the blue skies and rime ice look stunning.

Spectacular View at Tokachigawa Onsen: Unryu Unryu is a river mist that appears on frigid mornings in January and February when temperatures drop below −15°C. It came to be called “Unryu” because the fog rising along the flow of the Tokachi River looks like a dragon stretching and resting. You can view this scene from the Tokachigaoka Observatory. This breathtaking sight is visible only in winter! This year is the Year of the Dragon—come to Tokachigawa Onsen to see Unryu!
