Biei, Hokkaido, Japan
Hokkaido is located at the north of Japan. It is cold in winter.
Capture the serene beauty of Hokkaido's winter: snow-covered landscapes, frozen trees, and soft,
ethereal light creating a magical atmosphere in Hokkaido.
I had visited Hokkaido more than five times. It is really amazing place.
Biei
A clean, natural aesthetic that pairs beautifully with landscape photography, much like the serene and expansive scenes captured in Biei, Japan.
Famous for its rolling hills and vibrant landscapes, which transform into a tranquil winter wonderland.
The landscape is simple but not empty. Snow smooths the hills into gentle gradients, so a single tree can anchor the entire frame.
Light is low and soft. Short days mean long golden hours, lingering blue hours, and a sun that rarely climbs too high.
Weather adds character. Ground blizzards carve lines into the snow, diamond dust sparkles on subzero mornings, and fog turns trees into brushstrokes.
Photographing Biei’s winter trees is less about chasing spectacle and more about learning to listen—then translating that silence into shape, tone, and breath.
