The images of Niigata are rice fields, snow and unbearable coldness. Most of the time the sky is dull grey for the whole winter season.
Today was not one of those boring days. So we took of to Shinano riverbank for a stroll.
Those are the sakura trees without leaves and flowers
Train heading to Uchino
Light bulbs from a fisherman's boat
Merlion! Nope, this is the guard of Hakusan Shrine's enterance
Always find these straws hanging at the shrine's enterance
Plum's flowers bloom ahead of sakura
Red face Japanese monkey
