Japan in Pics

I was in Japan, the northern parts, where one can see Russia. Snowboarding near Sapporo, treading on icy beaches of the Sea of Okhotsk, and trekking through the Mizunara forest in Kawayu. In quick pics, here are three panels. In Japan, it is hard not to photograph food, packaging, nature or oneself; bookstores, vending machines and life are tantalizing.
