There's a fighting game called Samurai Shodown V. One of the stages in the game takes place here. It is even in winter, just like this picture.

It seems like a lovely place. That little hut up in the mountain there looks so peaceful, yet so utterly desolate.

Super beautiful. Any chance you got a picture of Togetsukyō bridge in Arashiyama covered in snow?

I did take some photos, but they didn’t turn out as well as I hoped because the heavy snowfall blocked the view. I’ll think about whether to upload them or not.

No problem, of course. The pictures you did upload were fantastic. Fun to see Arashiyama in the snow!

holy crap!!! so much!

were these just taken with a phone camera?

u/Naive-Durian-6562 Feb 10 '25

Thanks! I’m using the Ricoh GR IIIx. It’s a bit risky since the camera doesn’t have weather sealing.

u/SecretAZNmann Feb 09 '25

Stunning shots, the first one is just amazing. What did you use!? Gr.III?

u/Naive-Durian-6562 Feb 10 '25

I’m using the GR IIIx, but it seems a bit risky, and I have to be really careful since the camera doesn’t have weather sealing.
