冬の窓 (2) 富山 2021

Winter Window Winter has made the room beyond this window warm. Thank you for the snow that helped people spend a lot of time together in that warmth. Toyama 2021

A one-car train (an old type of train which is still quite common in Toyama) approaching Etchu Yatsuo station. The mountain range in the background is Tateyama. That day the weather was nice, but one day before it was snowing heavily. Photo taken in Toyama this winter.

It is a snowy scenery when I went to Kamikawa-cho, Hyogo Prefecture. I shot the moment my husband shot me. It is one of my favorite photos of winter.

What a cute photo! I remember when I went to Akita, I don't remember the name of the flower park I'd have to look it up, but they had a small rabbit enclosure there and it was really neat getting to see them just hopping around munching on carrots and stuff. The place had some really good ice cream as well so that was a big plus. Speaking of ice cream, I just remembered the babahera ice that I had in Akita. That stuff was really good as well. It was like a sort of sherbet I think, but apparently it's only sold by old ladies which is how it got its name. I guess that's an interesting fact that I have to share today. If you're ever in Akita be sure to keep an eye out for it. I think I tried it somewhere around Lake Tazawa

I'm really digging the symmetry in this photo. It's really perfect. Also Skytree is awesome so there's that too! I really wanted to visit Asakusa for New Years but had to avoid it sadly. Was looking forward to visiting Sensoji and enjoying all of the other fun stuff in the area. Last time I went it was a lot of fun. Got to try out some of the food stalls and had a bunch of different things like takoyaki, yakisoba, etc. It's been a while since I went since I went to Skytree as well but maybe I can head over there again sometime soon and see the beautiful night view again. Plus Asakusa is always a fun to place to go and get some food anyways!

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.
