Tottori Sand Dunes View Hill is only a small sand dune, but it offers views of the distant Sea of Japan. Under the sunlight, the yellow dune looks like a hill covered in the color of rapeseed flowers, clean and flawless. I’m constantly thinking about whether to once again set foot on this pristine, golden-colored dune. Taiwanese singer A-Lin’s work “Sui Xin Suo Yu” was also filmed here. The Tottori Sand Dunes truly live up to the title of the song, because from the top of the dune, you really can encounter the distant scenery your heart desires.

Yamagata Zao Onsen Ski Resort
With 26 courses and 34 lifts, this is the largest snow resort in Japan. The big slope is made up of 6 areas with an array of courses for beginners and the advanced. The quality of snow is so good that skiers and snowboarders flock here seeking for the fluffy powder snow.
The second stop on our ski trip was Yamagata Zao Onsen Ski Resort. By the time we arrived, it was already afternoon. Our plan was to ski for the rest of the afternoon, stay overnight, and ski for another half day the next morning. While we were skiing that afternoon, the setting sun appeared, casting its brilliant glow across the ski resort. It was truly a very different kind of scenery.

Shizukuishi Ski Resort
Shizukuishi Ski Resort is located in Shizukuishi Town, Iwate Prefecture. In 1993, it served as the venue for the FIS Alpine World Ski Championships, establishing its reputation as a world-class ski resort. Its signature attraction is the downhill course, with a maximum length of 2,648 meters and varied terrain. A total of 16 courses are available, ensuring fun for beginners, advanced skiers, and families alike.
Located in the subtropics, Taiwan offers no opportunities for skiing, so why not come to Japan, with its many ski resorts, for an event unique to the snowy season? For this trip, I first chose Shizukuishi Ski Resort in Iwate Prefecture, Japan. Many major international ski competitions have been held here, which shows just how large the ski area must be. When I arrived, I was greeted by an entire mountainside covered in gleaming white snow. The slopes were packed with people wearing skis and snowboards, along with snow groomers preparing the ski area, filling me with endless anticipation for this ski trip in a silvery-white world...

Hida Takayama Old Town
Hida Takayama Old Town is a popular sightseeing destination in the Hida region, where streets dating back to the Edo period remain lined with atmospheric townhouses and traditional shop curtains. Its rows of townhouses with projecting lattice windows offer a glimpse into the area's history and culture. Sake breweries, cafes housed in renovated traditional homes, and gift shops make it an enjoyable place to explore on foot.
This is also an old street full of Edo-period charm, with all kinds of history etched into it. As I walked in, I was greeted by all sorts of shops selling things like sweets, sake, sundries, kimonos, and more. The street was bustling with crowds of people coming and going, one after another.
