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.

Cherry blossoms and snowy mountains

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

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.

"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

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

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!

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

Beautiful Morgenrot in the Northern Alps.

Such a beautiful place. Leave it to Nagano Prefecture to have yet another amazing sightseeing destination surrounded by beautiful scenery. Watching the video felt so calming. It's such a serene atmosphere and feels completely detached from the rest of the world. It makes me imagine an earth where humanity no longer exists and everything is being reclaimed by the earth. I like how there's several different shrines in the area. The gate Zuijinmon just feels like it's a boundary between worlds too very surreal. The massive trees reminded me of the redwoods back when I visited the redwood forest in California. I'd really love to explore this area and find some hidden views. I wonder if it's changed much in the 8 years since this video was taken.
