Shinkansen Journey, Winter 20182018/02/05

This time, my shinkansen journey was more like attraction, rather than a means of transportation.
Because of a cold weather, the view from the window changed all the way to Tokyo. I never got bored on board for the full 5.5 hours.

At Shin-Osaka, it was a usual winter day. 
Then, snow began to appear on the ground after passing Kyoto.

Then, the snow gradually became deeper and deeper.

At the end, it didn't look like Japan. At this point, I didn't know the deep snow was affecting this area.

As we got closer to Nagoya, however, the sky became clearer and the snow was disappearingl. 


Then, the awe-inspiring Mt. Fuji appeared!
Mt.Fuji!
I enjoyed all these specutaclars while having a cup of hard-frozen ice cream, which is a shinkansen speciality.

It was so great and privileged that I felt it a kind of sinful.
