In the mountainous region of Honshu, you can now enjoy the wonderful contrast between winter and spring. The above photo was taken at Hakuba Village in Nagano Prefecture.
In Hakuba, high mountains around 3000 meters above sea level are connected. In these mountains, many tourists enjoy skiing and snowboarding in the winter.
Even near such alpine areas, spring is approaching little by little.

Even in Oze (Gunma Prefecture), which is famous as an amazing hiking spot, the snow begins to melt. White skunk cabbage flowers begin to bloom in the wetland after the snow melts.
The contrast between the cute skunk cabbage flowers and the surrounding white mountains is great!

Spring has come to the plains, but in the mountains, a long winter continues.

Tateyama is very cold, so please prepare your winter clothes!
