A crisp, snowy morning at the JR station in Hiroshima. ❄️
The contrast between the heavy industrial lines and the pure white snow is breathtaking.

A scenic view from a JR station platform in Hiroshima after a heavy snowfall. The foreground shows a complex network of overhead power lines and utility poles, all dusted with fresh snow. In the background, mountains covered in white snow are visible under a bright blue sky with scattered clouds.

An annual tradition at my parents' house. ❄️
My father weaving a "Shimenawa" (sacred New Year rope) while the cat... helps?
It's a special ritual to welcome the new year with a fresh spirit.

A black and white photo of an elderly Japanese man sitting on the floor, carefully weaving a traditional straw rope (shimenawa) for New Year preparations. A cat is sitting next to him, playfully pawing at the straw. The image captures a quiet, annual family tradition.

Rare snow in Hiroshima City today. ❄️
It doesn't snow often here, so the neighborhood looks completely different.
A quiet winter morning walk.

A winter street scene in a residential area of Hiroshima. A narrow asphalt road leads to a small pedestrian bridge covered in snow. To the left is an old utility pole and a house, and to the right is a green fence. In the background, mountains dusted with snow are illuminated by soft sunlight.

Hiroshima's new gateway. 🚉
The contrast between the sleek metallic ceiling and the streetcars is stunning.
From old stone tunnels to modern infrastructure, this city has many faces.

A high-angle shot of the modern tram terminal at Hiroshima Station. The ceiling features a sleek, striped metallic design that reflects the lights. Several streetcars (trams) are stopped at the platforms below, creating a futuristic and symmetrical composition.

A mysterious spot on my daily commute. 🚶
I pass by this old stone tunnel every day.
It always feels like a portal to another world.
Reminds me of a Ghibli movie scene. 🌿

A vertical shot of an old stone tunnel or culvert found in Hiroshima. Rough-hewn stone walls are covered in dry vines, framing a dark, mysterious passage with a small stream flowing through it.

Local tracks in Hatsukaichi, Hiroshima. 🚃
At first glance, this looks like a regular train.
Actually, it’s part of the streetcar (tram) network.
In the city center, it runs on the road, but here it has its own dedicated tracks.

#Hiroshima #Hiroden #JapanRail #Train #Infrastructure #Urban
A ground-level view looking along double train tracks in Hatsukaichi, Hiroshima. The tracks, built on gravel ballast with concrete sleepers, curve into the distance between dense Japanese houses. A complex network of overhead wires and utility poles lines both sides of the railway.

A side trip to Shimane, north of Hiroshima.
Watching the sunset over the Sea of Japan. 🌊
Unlike the Pacific side, here we can watch the sun dip directly into the horizon.
The sun rays were breathtaking.

A scenic view of the sunset over the Sea of Japan from Shimane. Sunlight is streaming through heavy clouds in distinct rays (crepuscular rays) down to the calm water. Silhouetted pine trees frame the right side of the image.
