Building a snowman in Shirakawa-go
In a place filled with snow like Shirakawa-go, you absolutely have to build a snowman! Even though it was freezing and my hands were numb, we were so dedicated to building a big one. It took us about an hour, but the process itself was fun. Seeing people smile and take photos with our happy snowman made all the effort worth it. Sometimes the cold moments create the warmest memories.
- Snowman building — The final result of our happy snowman, which took about an hour to build. It was a rewarding experience, especially seeing others appreciate our creation by taking pictures with it.
