Japan had long been a dream travel destination for me, particularly once I heard about the Nagano snow monkeys. I’ve always had a thing for monkeys and their strange human-like tendencies. As we hiked through the snow to the mountain onsens (natural volcanic hot springs) where they congregate, I couldn’t believe my eyes as hundred of them lay in a trace in the volcanic heated water of the springs. A moment i’ll never forget!

this temple design is really unique. it doesn’t looks normal temple architectural style. most of all temple in japan was built of wood.but this temple is ferro concrete structure. The design of the stone exterior was based on an ancient Indian style and combines Buddhist, Hindu and Islamic architectural styles in a complex manner. The columns and wide stairs of the Temple moreover are reminiscent of Greek and Roman architectural styles.

An obliga-torii photo of Fushimi Inari’s famous gates in Kyoto, Japan. The day I was at the shrine it was absolutely packed. To get this photo I only had one shot - I literally sprinted as fast as I could in front of a huge group of people on the path so I could get at least one photo without anyone in the frame. Luckily it paid off - I ended up with this picture of the afternoon light trickling through the vermilion torii.
Whilst in Tokyo, I visited the Buddhist Temple of Sensō-ji. This photo was capture during the busy midday rush of tourists and locals exploring the markets just outside the temple grounds. Stepping inside, the noise subsided allowing peace and quietness to fill the room. It’s a reminder of how even in one of the busiest cities in the world you can always find a moment of peace and respect.
We started at the base of Hakuba Happo-One (750m above sea level) and catched a one way lift ride to the top of the slopes (about 1800m above sea level). From there we hiked up the spine, but because of wind and clouds we had to turn around near the top. This photo is taken right before we went back down. Mt. Karamatsu (2696m) is the peak to the right. We went back a week later, with perfect conditions, and managed to summit. The view from the peak is stunning in clear weather, and you’re able to see huge areas. There’s even possible to spot Mt. Fuji in the far distance.
… well. There`s problem with the beautiful places around the world. Too many tourists. I`m part of the problem, I know. ;) With a bit of luck and a few minutes to queue up, you can take a photo of the beautiful Japanese gardens and buildings. But please imagine, what you can`t see in the picture: hundreds of tourists are just waiting behind me to take exactly the same picture. Most of them doing smartphone selfies of cause ;)

Early morning while visiting Niseko, Hokkaido, Japan, I awoke to an early winter snow storm. The sky was dense with fluffy clumps of snow, gently felling from above, accumulating quickly across the region as people slept in their mountain homes. I grab my camera and hopped into my car, knowing that I would be the first on the road to witness a snow fall I haven’t experienced for more than a decade.

That’s the Blue Pond in Biei, Hokkaido, Japan. I arrived in Biei in the morning with one of the first trains and rented an e-bike. That way I could catch as much as possible from the beautiful Hokkaido autumn landscape. The electric bike was golden as I travelled up and down many steep hills for over 15km. It’s pretty unique but one of the things you visit for the photo only. The place itself is not that remarkable. The whole way coming here and going back was so much more interesting — and the busloads of poor souls coming here with the bus missed that part of the story.
