Some places you just have to visit multiple times to look around. The scenery in front of you may look similar, but depending on the time of year, what you see will sometimes look completely different. Fortunately, there are four seasons in Japan, which are more or less pronounced depending on where you are in the country. Particularly, the further north you go, the more winter shows its cold and white side, dominating the scenery in some parts of the country for a longer period of time. And although I am more of a child of summer, I am also able to appreciate winter and to get excited about snowy and white landscapes. Once the whole area is covered with a blanket of snow, everything seems even more charming and mysterious than usual.
