Winter in Sapporo

There is rarely snow in Tokyo. Winters are dry and not as cold as in Seoul. Usually when it snowed

There is very few snow here in Tokyo, so naturally I take many photos whenever it snows. At 11pm there was snow-rain outside and I decided to just walk from my apartment to the next convenience store.

Nakano Snow Wonderland! (this time for real)

Ok, so the first snow day wasn’t that impressive and I only had my mobile phone camera with me. But today came some heavy snow and I decided to grab my Konica DSLR and head out to photograph Arai, Nakano ward in snow.
