Have a nice week and good work!
In two previous articles, I had the opportunity to introduce you to two poetic and colorful destinations through the romantic scenery of cherry blossoms in the spring and the golden-red glow of maple leaves in the autumn of the beautiful sunrise country of Japan. Today I will continue to introduce you to the natural scenery of the winter in the country of the Cherry Blossom. When you come here this season, you will see the view of pure white snow all over the houses, streets, forests...everything is covered in snow to create a pure beauty in this country.
Japan winter starts from December to February next year, the winter lasts about 3 months. The winter in Japan is very cold, the average temperature during the day is about 10-12°C, still dark and bright about 2-5°C depending on the month, snowy areas such as Toyama, Hokkaido, Gifu... Snowfall begins as early as in Hokkaido around the end of October to early November. In Akita, Aomori, Fukushima, Miyagitili provinces it started to fall from mid to late November. In the provinces of Gifu, Toyama, Ishikawa..., it starts from the end of November to the beginning of December. Coming to Japan, visitors can enjoy the white snowy landscape everywhere in winter, from houses to trees, even snow-covered roads that are very difficult to get around. In areas where the snow is not heavy, the mountains can also enjoy the snow scene as in Kyoto, in the city there is almost little snow but in places such as Golden Pagoda, Silver Pagoda.. are famous for the snow scene. In areas with pagodas or gardens, snow-covered parks will be beautiful, white snowflakes create a very romantic, magical landscape.
Where I got to go and experience the snowy landscape, participating in snow games with friends, was Ibigawa Ichiba Ground Baseball Park in 1546-18 Ichiba, Ibigawa, Ibi District, Gifu 501-0627, Japan. Because in Vietnam, we are a country with a typical tropical climate, monsoon, and near the equator, it is very rare to have snow, only in recent years due to climate change, leading to erratic weather changes, temperatures lowering above and below 1°C, in the northern mountains, frost, or snow can occur. But to capture that moment when you're not living in those parts is really hard because when it snows, it just happens in a moment, or a few hours. So for me, the experience of seeing snow, playing with snow is really new and strange, and it gives me a lot of excitement. The real-life scene is like the movies I've seen in snowy countries, and this is the first time I've touched anything interesting, and it's one of my most memorable memories of living and working in Japan.
The landscape of the large park is covered in beautiful white snow, both adults and children often come here to play and relax with skiing. Skiing is one of the favorite sports in the world and often appears in many sports competitions with extremely attractive, impressive, and intense skiing. Coming to Japan on winter days, you can participate in this fascinating skiing game. There are many different ski areas available for adults and children.
There are also level ski areas where you can conquer and challenge your abilities. To ensure that during skiing, you have the necessary supplies such as ski suits, hats and gloves, and eyeglasses to ensure that snow does not get into your eyes when skiing. Skiing is a favorite experience in Japan on cold winter days. Because it is a sport that helps to train better, the body is resilient and healthy, strengthens the immune system, and helps the body to function better after long periods of intense and exhausting work. Besides, skiing also brings a sense of mental relaxation. The feeling of skiing down the snowy mountains stretching long stretches of mountains brings excitement, excitement, and conquering new challenges. This will help you get comfortable, cheerful, excited and reduce feelings of anxiety and fatigue.
The winter in Japan is very cold if you first come here in the winter, it may take some time to adapt to the temperature here for people in hot weather like me. Therefore, if you choose to travel to discover Japan in the winter, you should be equipped with all necessary warm items to keep your body warm: warm clothes, scarves, wool hats, shoes,... In addition, you need to prepare your personal belongings, phone, charge your phone, and schedule a specific itinerary to ensure your trip is as complete as possible.
In Japan in winter, there are also other attractive festivals such as ice skating, Sapporo Snow Festival with beautiful and elaborate snow sculptures, or near Christmas, you will admire beautifully decorated streets, shops, or train stations. In addition, you can experience famous hot springs such as Ginzan Onsen in Yamagata Province, Shibu Onsen in Nagano Province, or the picturesque hot spring area Kinosaki Onsen in Hyogo Province in the West of Japan... And finally, enjoy the specialties of winter, especially the famous hotpot dishes such as shabu-shabu, sukiyaki, oden, yosenabe, chankonabe, and other seafood dishes. And coming to Japan in winter, you will experience many different festivals and lots of fun games with snow. And these are the photos I took when I had the opportunity to come to Japan in the winter, and it was one of my most memorable experiences living and working here.
Thank you for following my post, I hope you have a moment of relaxation as you read it.
Have a nice day!
