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.

Snow Blossom It was a normal day at work when I "discovered" this view near our parking space. This is a cherry tree line. In spring, it is gorgeous with cherry blossom. In winter, it takes on a "snow coat" and is still beautiful, but in a different way.

The Kingdom of Snow Heavy snow in the Hokuriku region this year has caused various troubles for locals so far. However, there is a good thing about it: the snowscape it brought about is splendid! Photo taken in Toyama this winter.

Snow Road This year it has been snowing particularly heavily. Here is a tree-lined road covered in snow in Toyama.

At my parents' house in a snowy country. It was the first sunny day in a long time, and my elderly mother made a snowman for my daughter (2 years old) after shoveling snow.

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.

What a beautiful photo! I've seen a Japanese friendship garden in Portland I think it was but this one has a totally different atmosphere. It's really cool to see the different styles. I hadn't heard of West Lake before but I looked at some pictures of it and it looks like a beautiful place. I like how the architecture of the pavilions is very similar as well. I'm certainly a fan of all of the winter scenery I've gotten to see this year, but I feel like the cherry blossoms would certainly look amazing here. That or even the foliage in the autumn. I'd like to check this out when I get the chance. It looks like there are some interesting restaurants in the area as well so I can look forward to some tasty food!

Gifu Park Japan-China Friendship Garden Snow Scenery ❄️ In 1989, Gifu City and Hangzhou City, People's Republic of China, created a garden to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the friendship city partnership, and a gate with a design full of Chinese atmosphere, earthen walls, gardens, and a pond made to imitate West Lake, a famous place in Hangzhou City. This pond is a pond that can be enjoyed throughout the four seasons. ? The cherry blossom season is famous, but the snowy scenery is also the best. When you come to Gifu, please take a walk in Gifu Park. ?

Tsuruga Castle in the snow was a sight unique to Aizuwakamatsu, radiating majestic beauty.

"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
