A one-car train (an old type of train which is still quite common in Toyama) approaching Etchu Yatsuo station. The mountain range in the background is Tateyama. That day the weather was nice, but one day before it was snowing heavily. Photo taken in Toyama this winter.

Winter Happiness This photo was taken at a small park in Toyama, Yatsuomachi this winter. We all know that winter comes with coldness, but it also brings warmth and happiness. Looking at this photo, all I see is not coldness but pure joy and happiness.

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
