The Akita Inland Railway runs through Kitaakita City, Akita Prefecture. It is a scene unique to heavy snowfall areas. It is a local line with a basic one-car train, but it is very cute to see it running in a wonderful scenery.

This photo was taken at Bunzo Waterfall in Katsuragi Town, Wakayama Prefecture. There are people who come to the waterfall even in the middle of winter when it is freezing cold.

Winter in Yamagata, surrounded by beautiful mountains

Mifune Falls in Kawakami Village, Nara Prefecture has a drop of about 50 meters, and in winter, the road is closed (only for cars), so you have to walk on a snowy road for about an hour to meet it, but the icefall is worth it.

It is a rest area with a thatched roof on the Kumano Kodo Nakabeji course, "Toganoki Chaya". The autumn foliage season is wonderful, but I think the snowy scenery in winter, when there are few visitors, is even more wonderful.

The cranes gather little by little when the time comes. I don't have a watch. It's strange. It was a beautiful scenery because it was winter and because it was a snowy country.

It seems that there are many people who are fascinated by cranes and move to this Tsurui Village. There is a village in Hokkaido where cranes of human families come to each farmer and dairy farm.

Cranes are said to be natural monuments. In the past, there were only a few dozen cranes due to overfishing by humans, but with the warm support, you can meet so many cranes. It is a wonderful scenery that should be preserved for many years to come.

Beautiful winter scenery. Tokachi has a high rate of sunny weather even in winter, so the blue sky and misty ice are very beautiful.

【Superb view of Tokachi River Onsen】Unryu It is a river fog that appears in the early morning when the temperature is below -15°C in the severe winter season of January ~ February. It came to be called "Unryu" because it looks as if a dragon is floating and lying along the flow of the Tokachi River. You can see this view at the Tokachigaoka Observatory. It is a spectacular view that can only be seen in winter! This year is the Year of the Dragon, so please come to Tokachi River Onsen to see the cloud dragon!
