Winter in the mountains in Japan

Almost every winter it snows in Tokyo at least a couple of days, leaving some parks and temples unrecognizable. However the most beautiful winters in Japan are not in Tokyo but in the interior of the country, which is totally covered in white creating an idyllic atmosphere that makes you forget that you are in one of the most populated countries in the world. Any season is great to visit Japan, it all depends on how you want to enjoy it: hot or cold; green, white, pink or even yellow…
I took these pictures in Gunma, Tochigi and Yamanashi prefectures two weeks ago:

Lovely photography. When I was a child I lived in Detroit, Michigan but right beside a quiet woods that were wedged between two large neighborhoods. It snowed a great deal and my brother and I would go outside for hours at a time. Some of these scenes struck that childhood memory in me despite being worlds apart.

Thanks for posting.

Wow… Oddly my favorite is the third one, no competition. There is something about that pic that reminds me of home back in Turkey. It brings up emotions I can’t even put into words.
