Here are some from the trip to Tohoku (the north part of Japan's main island) I took at new year. There was about half a meter to a meter of snow. Really quite
hard to tell sometimes where you could stand, a few times I ended up standing up to my knees in the snow. ![]()

Matsukawa Onsen (hot spring). Nothing beats an out door hot spring in the snow. ![]()

Tazawa-ko lake (click for full size). Stitched with Windows Live Photo Gallery, worked pretty well considering the cheap camera and poor lighting conditions.

Torii at a temple on Mt. Haguro.

Fire for the new year's festival.
I love Japanese food. ![]()
