Kinosaki Onsen is Mikiya's garden. From the room that is known as Naoya Shiga's guest house and stayed with Naoya, You can look at this garden.

京都府丹後地方に久しぶりに雪が積もり、 真っ白な雪が全てを包み込んでしまいました。

God the snowscapes of Japan just get better and better. I keep hearing and reading about Ouchi-Juku all over the place and it's really got me itching to visit. I really love these old post stations and their historic feel. The buildings are really rustic and just looking at them makes me feel comfortable and relaxed. I really love the thatched roofs as well. I can imagine enjoying some delicious soup and tea next to an irori and just letting all life's troubles be whisked away. Top it if with some hot springs and I can't even imagine a better way to relax. Apparently there's the hot spring Yunokami onsen about 15 minutes from Ouchi-Juku but I guess there's also a footbath in Ouchi-Juku itself as well? Or maybe it's in the same area as Yonokami Onsen, I'm not 100% sure on that. Hopefully it's heated either way ?

Excited by the unfamiliar snowy scenery I forgot the cold and cut the shutter with an engrossing.

車が氷にコーティング。 自然の力はすごいです。

車にこんなにも立派なつららが。 雪国の脅威を知らされました。

山形県の銀山温泉の景色です。 圧巻の景色でした。

Winter in Hokkaido and Sapporo. This year, there is no snow festival and it is quiet.

Lake Shoji is the most visited lake in the Fuji Five Lakes. It is a very quiet and pleasant place.

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

It is a Tassawa Fudo Falls in Fukushima Prefecture. In autumn, it is famous for its autumn leaves and waterfalls, but the snow and waterfalls in winter were also beautiful.

奥に見えるのが福島県金山町にある大志集落です。 只見川の横を走る電車と共に撮影しました。 雪のないシーズンは緑が綺麗なので、また行きたいと思います。

Wow this is awesome! Looks like a lot of fun. Japan has a lot of great ski resorts and with winter being pretty harsh this year I bet there's tons of fresh powder on top of the mountains. I've never went mountain climbing like this either. I've went hiking of course but not in snow like in these pictures. I'm more of a camper I suppose though lol. I like the different snowmen in these pictures too, it's pretty cool to see them as, like I've said before, there's not much snow in Tokyo. It's pretty cool they built a small house out of snow lol. It reminds me of the ice chapel in Hokkaido. Hopefully once it's easier to get outside I can go visit a resort like this even just to do some sledding or w/e. Start to lack exercise with being indoors all day everyday ?

こちらは山梨県にある河口湖の湖畔にて撮影しました。 前日には雪が降り、この日の早朝はかなり冷え込んでいました。 そのため空気が澄んでいて、富士山がとても綺麗に見えました。

A piece at aikura gassho-zukuri village in Toyama Prefecture. The weather on this day was cloudy and the weather was not good, but for only a few seconds a light came out through the gap between the clouds. The light beams that support this good old townscape have made it a nostalgic photo.

A piece from kirigamine plateau in Nagano Prefecture. Diamond dust and sun pillars were seen around 7:00 a.m. It was a beautiful view as if a jewel was falling down.

That's some good lookin' crab right there! Really impressive that this is home made. It looks like something you'd buy at a high-class restaurant! I think I've said it before, but that's another great thing about Japan - It's an island country so there's tons of good seafood to be had and it's prepared better than anywhere else in the world imo. Especially when it comes to crab, you'll find just the most amazing dishes like this. It's been a few years since I threw out some crab pots with my dad but I'd love to do it again, it's always a lot of fun. I've never been crabbing in Japan before so I'm interested to know if it's done differently here somehow. Maybe like different crab pots or methods, etc. The only thing I doubt is different is the waking up early ?. That's gotta be one of the hardest parts about crabbing/fishing for me. Waking up at 3 AM takes some dedication! I guess if you want to catch some delicious snow crab to make a dish like this it's worth it though! That or just buy it at the supermarket I guess lol
