Sometimes it is just good to have a wintry winter – lots of snow and cold but crisp blue skies. Japan is a proper winter wonderland deep in powder snow, huge snowy mountain peaks, winter wildlife all topped off with outdoor hot spring baths, great food and hot sake. Sometimes words can not do justice, so here are a few images from our Winter Highlights tour…
