Winter Pleasures

In this month's issue, we take a look at some of the pleasures of the Japanese winter, from the “first visit” of the new year to a temple or shrine, to the scenic beauty of Shirakawa-go in Gifu Prefecture; from competitive snowballing in Sobetsu, Hokkaido, to illuminated flower viewing in Ashikaga City, Tochigi Prefecture.
