White Day in a White Land

Winter is happening. In the Northern lands of Hokkaido, March is the perfect time to enjoy a pure white day. Iced landscapes, frozen waterfalls and freezing winds are welcoming you. Around Asahikawa, the landscape looks like a foreign and dreamy country....

Two days before Christmas

December on

Can you imagine the milky way so close you could touch it ? This is the concept of this fascinating free exhibition set in Spiral Hall Aoyama and sponsored by a watch brand. Hundreds of golden coins glittering in the night. What could be better to start...

Snow must go on

This is the second snowy week-end in Tokyo this month. Pretty rare. With 30 cm snow and more on the street, making your way in Tokyo became the fanciest local Olympic discipline. A new kind of triathlon including diving, skiing, and jumping to reach your...

A study in white

Since I moved to Japan, it has been snowing once every year in Tokyo. But this time is the heavier, thicker snow I have ever experienced in the capital. All the city fell into a silky, silent sleep, except for the crows which are noisily expressing their...

Fukuoka in winter

Two years ago, I visited Fukuoka, the main city of Southern Kyushu island, in October : the place was still smelling like summer, with its glowing seashore in the sunset, and its people walking the street late in the night. This time, I had a radically...

Nagasaki the Cosmopolitan

For ages, I have wanted to go South until Nagasaki, the western port-city of Kyushu island. I'm happy to announce that my first resolution for 2014 has been to fulfill this wish. Sadly famous world-wide for being the second and last city to date to have...

Hell yeah! - Beppu's smoking hells

Tokyo under the snow

Stop kidding: that's winter after all. Oh yes, we spend a sunny December under the gingko leaves and we almost forgot that winter was coming for good... Today, there are 15 centimeters of thick snow on the streets. Hopefully this monday was a holiday...
