Year End Lights
Marunouchi always features some beautiful lights around the end of the year.
Snow Police
Snowing a lot on the highway: speed limit of 50km/h – these guys were doing 70 and everyone was pacing along !
Bath Time
One of the best part of Japan: the combination of snow and hot spring!
Snow Tori
Tori in the snow in Aizu Wakamatsu.
Sazaedo Pagoda
The Sazaedo Pagoda in Aizu Wakamatsu is particularly interesting because of its double helix ramp, which allows visitors to go up and down without passing each others. Think of it as a DNA strand with the two ramps interlacing each other within the same cylinder – remarkable.
Higashiyama Onsen
Higashiyama Onsen (東山温泉) is an onsen resort in a valley just east of the downtown area of Aizu Wakamatsu. One particularly notable ryokan of the valley is the Mukaitaki Ryokan: a traditional, wooden construction, with its name written in gold on the side – you can’t miss it. Was lucky with the weather: it snowed a lot just before reaching the town.
