Hokkaido Japan in Winter - Snowy Drive in Biei

Welcome to Japan Photo Explore. Join me on a snowy drive in Hokkaido, Japan’s large northerly island. We’ll start at Hokkaido’s second largest city, Asahikawa, driving to the town of Biei and its beautiful rolling hills, a Mecca for minimalist photography. Then on to Shirogane Onsen with its gorgeous icicle and hot spring waterfall. And I’ll be stopping to take some photos wherever I can.
Whether you are planning to go to Japan or just enjoy some armchair travel, you have come to the right place.
Japan Photo Explore is a series of travel and photography vlogs and videos that show you some amazing places, some of them hidden gems.
My name is Nick Pitsas and I am a content producer and photographer. I've been traveling to Japan since 2009, including five trips in winter, so if you have any questions about travel and photography in Japan, I'm happy to try to answer them. I look forward to your comments and questions. More videos are coming so if you’d like to see them, please click the notifications button so that you’ll know when new videos are uploaded.

Some great drone work, Nick, and some of your best stills yet! Interesting to see how many other photographers were out and about in those wonderful minimalist areas.

Thanks, John. Really appreciate your comments. Yes, for better or worse, Biei seems to have been 'discovered' since I first went there in 2015.
