This is the Daigoji Buddhist temple in Kyoto. This photo highlights the contrast between the warm red temple and the chilly winter breeze. It really gives off the winter vibe as you stare in awe at the beauty of this scene. One is left seeking solace in their worship as the snow descends outside, covering everything.

I took this photo when I went to Hokkaido for the first time before Corona. I remember at Asahiyama Zoo in December, the snow was flickering and it was cold anyway. At that time, I had just started using cameras, and because I didn't bring gloves, it was difficult for my hands to gnaw and release the shutter. I took pictures of various animals in the park, especially in such a cold and dignified and cool! It was this panther that I thought. At this time, I had just started developing, and as a result of trying various things, my eyes turned blue lol. I've only been to Hokkaido once, so I'm definitely going to go when Corona is over.

A collaboration of cherry blossoms and snow photographed in Sugamo last year. It's so beautiful that it's hard to forget.

This is a photo of Mt. Fuji seen from Suginami Ward in Tokyo. The weather was nice and it looked beautiful. There was a little snow. （sudarat）

On a spring day when snow falls on the cherry blossoms, "Watarase Valley Railway" Midori, Gunma

Gorgeous photo! I want to visit the Tottori Sand Dunes so badly. There was a photo of them going around the internet a while back with the covered in snow. It's such a strange concept to me having snow on sand. I, and probably most people as well, generally associate sand dunes and deserts with hot weather so it's really sort of fantastical. I've still never actually experienced that in person, and I lived relatively close to a beach most my life. It always got cold there but didn't snow much, or if it did I just wasn't going anywhere near it I suppose lol. The San'in Region is supposed to be full of really amazing natural scenery though so it seems like it'd be a cool place to visit during the summer or even for golden week or something.

It is a row of cherry blossom trees right next to the house. The snow fell after the cherry blossoms bloomed, so we were able to save a miraculous piece. I haven't been able to take any photos that can exceed this so far.

This is so cool! I love how the trees are just welcoming you into the temple. I guess I should throw this on my list of places to visit in Oita. Still have to visit the hot springs over there too. I have some friends over in Beppu so maybe I can say hey to them while I'm in the area. I was reading an article about Futagoji Temple on here and it looked like a really nice place to go. I like the architecture of the temple too. It looks like Kunsaki has some traditional crafts that you can try out as well so that'd be an interesting experience. Hopefully I can head out there this summer or something!

It is a Futagoji Temple of Kunisaki City, Oita Prefecture (vertical composition) It was beautiful because it snowed quite a bit and it was sunny.

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.

Asago City, Hyogo Prefecture, a post box in front of the coffee shop "Arajan".

Asago City, Hyogo Prefecture, snowy cityscape.

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.

In the garden of the house. First snow day of the year. I took a picture of my nephew and niece who went out while frolicking with the camera ☆ It was (^^) cute to see them happy in the snow with footprints

In Sapporo City, Hokkaido, at the bicycle parking lot of a certain shopping mall. It is not uncommon for sleds to be a means of transportation for small children in Hokkaido, but I took a picture of two brightly colored sleds lined up in a bicycle parking lot in the middle of winter when there are no bicycles. On the way home, I can imagine small children who seem to be having fun on this sled and parents pulling their belongings home with their purchases.

Morning at Niikurayama Sengen Shrine. Mt. Fuji enters the torii gate, and the scenery is very magnificent.

When I heard that it was winter in Japan, I was reminded of the snowy country of Hokkaido. #Biei in Hokkaido is famous as the blue pond. The contrast between the mysterious blue pond and the pure snow was very beautiful.

Photographed from the ropeway of Kita Yatsugatake. It was sunny that day, so we took the ropeway. However, when I reached the summit, it was cloudy、、。 I can't read the weather in the mountains. The summit was very cold at -12°C.

It is Tatsusawa Fudo Falls in Fukushima Prefecture. It is famous for its spots where you can take pictures of autumn leaves and waterfalls in autumn, but the snow and waterfall in winter were also beautiful.

Tsuruga Castle in Fukushima! I'd heard of its white walls before, but it looks like winter is doing its best to make it completely white! Apparently Tsuruga Castle was designed after Kurokawa Castle that was sieged some time during the 1,500's. I wonder if the color scheme is true to Kurokawa Castle. It'd be interesting to know if there was some sort of tactical reason for an all-white castle. In a snowy region I could see it acting as a sort of camouflage but who knows. You can also barely see what looks like a shachihoko on the roof if you zoom in which is pretty neat. Apparently the inside of the castle has some mannequins set up with guns showing how the arrow-slits, or in this case gun-slits, would have been used. There's also other mannequins that show them being used for rock dropping as well. Warfare has come a long way since then?

It's like a winter wonderland! Looks really cold though lol. I'd seen on the news how bad the snow was getting in parts of Akita, especially Yokote but it looks like it's just cold everywhere this year. The plus side is Japan has a lot of beautiful scenery so when the snow starts to pile up like this it makes for some beautiful photography (like we're seeing here). I really like this photo though, you can practically hear how quiet and cold it is. It almost makes me want to get outside and go camping with a big ol' campfire and a heavy duty tent. I know my girlfriend would never agree to go though to a place with this much snow though ?Hope everyone is staying safe from the cold! Be sure to take some photos of the beautiful scenery while you can though. No snow here in Tokyo though (unfortunately??).

It was the first winter since I moved to Niigata. Year 1996. If you wake up in the morning and open the window... It is a sight. PENTAX P30 smc PENTAX-A MACRO 50mm f2.8
