Join me as I recount a remarkable two days of photography in late January 2023, during an exceptionally cold week. The weather posed its challenges—many buses out of Tokyo were canceled due to heavy snow, and my own train became stuck on icy tracks just as the sun rose. While my dreams of being the first in the park were dashed, the silver lining was that I arrived at Japan's famous snow monkey park to find it surprisingly empty.
A Rare Encounter with Nature
With fewer visitors, the snow monkeys roamed freely, playfully chasing each other along the paths and across the narrow bridge just by my feet. One unforgettable moment occurred when a large male monkey leaped onto my lens for a brief encounter, leaving only a footprint behind—a reminder of this unique connection with nature.
Capturing Unforgettable Moments
These two days were incredibly rewarding, filled with opportunities to capture stunning images of the monkeys in their natural habitat. The serene atmosphere allowed for a deeper appreciation of the beauty around me, and I left with memories and photographs that truly encapsulated the essence of this extraordinary experience.
Looking Ahead
I’m already planning to return this coming winter for another adventure at the snow monkey park. Stay tuned for updates as I continue to explore and capture the magic of Japan's landscapes and wildlife.
Explore my gallery to discover the beauty of these moments and join me on this incredible journey!

My journey begins most days with a backpack, medium-format camera, and a love for exploring on foot, by bicycle, and train across this beautiful country. I capture moments that resonate with me—moments of resilience, serenity, and awe. Moments like snow monkeys playing amidst snow storms, giant lotus flowers blooming in serene ponds of Japanese gardens, glowing cityscapes from distant hidden vantage points, and surfers riding waves during approaching typhoons along Japan’s rugged coastline.
ほとんどの日が、バックパックと中判カメラを携え、徒歩や自転車、列車でこの美しい国を巡る旅から始まります。力強さ、静けさ、そして畏敬の念を感じさせる瞬間――吹雪の中で戯れるニホンザル、日本庭園の穏やかな池に咲く大輪のハス、隠れた高台から望む輝く都会の夜景、そして荒々しい海岸線に近づく台風の波に挑むサーファーたち。心に響く瞬間を切り取っています。
I’ve often heard it is wise for a photographer to stick to one subject. But living in Japan with my unique window into the world, I find this an impossible approach to my craft. Each location offers a new perspective on life’s enduring beauty and tranquility. Join me as we explore these moments through my lens.
「写真家は一つの被写体に絞るべきだ」とよく耳にします。しかし、日本に暮らし、この国から世界を見つめる私にとって、そのアプローチは不可能でした。場所ごとに、人生の変わらぬ美しさと静けさに対する新しい視点を与えてくれます。私のレンズを通して、これらの瞬間を一緒に探求しませんか。
