The bamboo beside the path looked so beautiful

A trail into the hills begins at these steps near Rokusho Shrine

The path looked both mysterious and inviting

Small amounts of snow piled on the joints of the bamboo stems

Snow turns this path into a beautiful winter scene

Footprints in the snow

These footprints are half filled in

Snow on pine needles

There's something magical about snow!

There is a trail starting from Rokusho Shrine in Yamashina that leads up into the Higashiyama Hills. On a snowy winter morning it offered an easy and beautiful nature walk with views over Yamashina, and lovely scenes of bamboo in the snow. The path was so pretty I couldn't stop taking photos!
