The Christmas alley. We are preparing for Christmas day and nature is also preparing for it. The photo was taken from Wako city in Saitama prefecture.

A path to go the heaven. Surrounding is fully covered with snow while the road is snow free. The photo was taken in Mount zao in Yamagata prefecture.

The snowy view of Yamagata city. Looks awesome. The photo was taken from Hotel crown hill Yamagata which is very close to the Yamagata station.

This is how ? we play Of course, this is an event ? that also serves as work. The world is in a green rush. Japan may ? still be a long way off. But while refreshing with CBD and reggae I would like ? to wait for the ban to be lifted

Several times I saw mount Fuji with maple leafs but this is the 1st time when I saw the Fujisan with ginko trees and that is also when there is a lenticular clouds over Fuji san. The whole atmosphere was amazing. The image was taken from Oike park, Kawaguchiko. Snow cover Fuji san, lenticular clouds, ginko trees and lake kawaguchiko what could be the best other than this?

On the way to the winter wonderland or alternatively we can say the snow world. The photo was taken in mount zao, Yamagata prefecture

Diamond Mt. Fuji and Shiratori-chan Thank you for powering up Shot in Lake Yamanaka, Yamanashi Prefecture.

The beautiful snow monsters of Zao montaion in Yamagata prefecture. The view of snow monsters are completely different on a sunny days and on a cloudy day. We got a cloudy day view. This is also very nice to enjoy.

Winter beauty of mount Zao in Yamagata prefecture. Everything was covered with snow which creates an amazing scenery. All the trees also wore the snow dress. This is on the half way to mount zao where we can see the snow monsters

"Kita-ku, Osaka" A natural Japan landscape with changing seasons.

This empty road of Kibitsu Shrine in Okayama Prefecture is so empty that it seems to be sucked in. Why ? do I feel strange? People walking slowly, jogging, walking There were many things, but everyone seemed ? to be comfortable It's a sacred path, isn't it??

Like vending machine, a public telephone booth also can be seen in several places in Japan. But unlike the other telephone booth this creats anmazing color contrast with dark red colour where the surrounding is covered with snow. This photo was taken in mount Zao in Yamagata prefecture

The last of the photos that I took at Asukayama Park. The first one was a nice statue of Shibusawa Eiichi and the second and third were taken at a shrine inside the park. I had to do a little bit of research to learn more about the shrine, but I was already quite sure it was an Inari Shrine because of the fox statues, but apparently it's called (I believe) Kabuto Inari Shrine Ruins (兜稲荷社跡), although I could be wrong about the reading for the first kanji. I liked that the shrine had a really small wooden shrine of what I believe was what the original shrine actually looked like, and the stone lanterns were aesthetically pleasing as well. I foolishly forgot to take a picture of the torii gate unfortunately... The last two photos are the statue of Shibusawa Eichi (which took us forever to find lol) and the plaque below it. I can only make out a few characters that are written on the plaque but there's another plaque on the back of the pedestal (which I forgot to take a picture of), so if you're visiting the park be sure to look at that if you're struggling to read it as well lol.

It's always beautiful ? here. :* A place ? filled with all the boys' favorite things Trains, cars, ships, planes... w It's? a place where you can see everything on land, sea and air. If you see something beautiful, you can ✊ do your best again from tomorrow

This was my first visit to any winter wonderland. It was taken from mount Zao, Yamagata prefecture. My intension was to see the snowmonster but to reach the snowmonster we need to take the ropeway. From that ropeway we got this fantastic view.

Some more photos from Asukayama Park! The first monument is a bit difficult for me to read so I had to do a bit of research, but it seems to be a commemorative monument signifying the planting of various trees throughout the park to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Meiji Restoration, and as such, was constructed in 1968, so it's about 50 years old, probably one of the newer monuments of its kind within the park. When I was walking back around the area I saw the dance stage from a different angle and managed to take a photo of the participants through a nice gap in the trees. There were a lot more participants this time so I stopped and watched it for a little while again. At the other end of the park I found this statue of a woman which is actually a statue of the "Goddess of peace" and it was erected in 1974 to wish for world peace and happiness. Even cooler, it was erected by the famous sculptor Seibo Kitamura who erected the "Peace Statue" at Peace Memorial Park in Nagasaki. Really cool to see his works all the way in Tokyo as well!

Some more photos I took at Asukayama Park the other day. I really liked this statue of Avalokitesvara, as I felt like it was really well crafted. I included the description to this monument as it's hard to read what is carved onto the stone and it's written in older Japanese too so my friends couldn't even read it lol. I think it has something to do with a poem about cherry blossoms although I could be wrong about that. It's pretty cool seeing the older Japanese from hundreds of years ago though. Even if I can't read it it's interesting to see how the Japanese language itself has evolved throughout the years. I'll be posting more photos of this place tomorrow as well!

After all, winter in Osaka is the illumination ? of Midosuji I drive or walk ? there every year. With ? the smiles of many people

Went to Asukayama Park near Oji Station yesterday. I've passed by the area many times and seen the gondola leading to the top but never knew what was up there until now. It's a really big park dedicated to Shibusawa Eiichi, known as the father of capitalism in Japan. The park has a bunch of monuments and cultural properties to check out so I managed to take a lot of photos and I'll be uploading them over the next few days. I chose a good day to go it seems too, as there was an event going on. It involved some traditional dances (I think from the Oji area), and it involved some sort of sash that kind of reminded me of a kimono obi, but I'm not sure exactly what it is. They had a taiko drum as well but it seems I didn't make it in time to watch them playing, I only heard it in the distance when I was walking to the park. I thought it was really cool seeing all the different monuments though. Many of them were several hundred years old and the Japanese on them was also and older form, so it was hard for me to read a lot of them lol. It was a really enjoyable experience though, so I'll upload some more photos tomorrow!
