Dear readers,
happy new year!

Matsumoto is not crowded in January: it’s cold and the weather is unstable.
Sometimes it rains, sometimes it snows, and the wind is cold.

January in Matsumoto is a good time to rest.

These are pictures I took in Matsumoto in January to show you what it looks like.

Candy from the Candy Market (held in January every year)

Strawberries!

Carps and snow

A rainbow!

I hope you stay warm during winter!
