Hi Nick, amazing work. As a fellow Aussie, how would you describe the driving conditions and do you have any tips? Hard to understand what driving in the snow feels like as it hardly ever snows down here.

Hi,what lens did you use,and did you use a gimbal?

I am so tempted to get an X-T4 even though it's older. Flippy screen + the older generation sensor that I absolutely love in my Pro 3? Really liked this video. NIce work, and definitely made me want to visit, especially shots like at 4:25. Just subscribed-hope we can keep up with each other’s work here on YT!

Immaculate quality, as ever, Nick. Stunning advertisement for the XT-4, which did a lovely job all round. You wandering-around technique must be superbly unobtrusive since you get so many close up and candid shots. Fantastic all round. Thank you for sharing.

What a treasure. May your good fortune for the year abound.

Amazing video and photos!

What a find. I can imagine how unexpected this would be in Shinjuku. So much energy, colourful and vibrant.

Another beautiful video, for which much thanks. But...You should have many more viewers for your masterpieces. A few hundred is ridiculous. And I have one suggestion to make - put "Fujifilm..." at the start of every title. Millions of potential viewers are scrolling through TH-cam looking for confirmation of their Fujifilm camera purchase. Your videos show off the stunning Fuji video quality in difficult lighting etc. So this video should be reposted as "Fujifilm XT4 [or whatever] goes to the Shinjuku Night Festival". Then stand back and watch the view numbers pile up. Believe me no one will find Shinjuku - it only means anything to Nippofiles. But Fujifilm! Now there's a word to conjure with.

Excellent video . I’m going to Hokkaido for the month of February what is the best way to go to rauso from Kutchan

What an epic, a true pilgrimage. The trails are beautiful and some look pretty challenging. I love the bear bells and your still shots are inspiring. Well done holding the video steady for that length of time. I don't know how you did it. Great video, thanks Nick.

Extraordinarily vividly captured. So tranquil, so manicured. Got it in one, Nick. Beautiful.

hi ! can you pls tell me about car rent to there? do they accept US drivers license? thank you

Thanks for the video Nick. Can you help a fellow Aussie out with some gear tips for Biei? What sort of focal lengths should I be looking at for the classic minimalist shots -Christmas Tree, seven trees etc? I was going to travel with just a full frame 24-120 but wondering if I might need a 100-400 or similar as well? It's very hard to gauge how far from the road some of these things are. Also, how are the drone restrictions? I'm tossing up whether to take a drone. Cheers.

Hi please tell me where is the tree snowy picture was taken? Will be going there next month really appreciate it. at 2:00

Did you use ND filters for the long exposures? They are all beautiful photos!

Beautiful work! I will be there in January 2025. I’m so excited. Could you share the equipment you use?

That is amazing❤

My favorite is the shot at 4:38.

What a nice video…I used to live there for four amazing years thank you for sharing this lovely scene of Biei in winter ❤

Absolutely spectacular. The stills of the various churches are beautifully composed and add a whole other dimension to the video. And being a geology geek, I greatly appreciated your commentary. I hope the trip back was a bit easier than getting there. Thanks Nick, it's a great video. Cheers Ted

What a great walk Nick! Made me want to know more about the place - like where does the tradition of painting buildings white come from? The rocky scrubby appearance looked unlike anything I’ve seen, but then I haven’t been walking over exploded volcanoes before as far as I know! 😂 good to have those tips about avoiding the crowds. On my trips I have been entertained by other travellers taking pictures. People’s interactions with their friends and the places are often interesting in themselves.

can I see the same scene if I trade 1st week of Dec?

Interesting.... I traveled through Muroran a few years ago by accident and stayed the night because it was much cheaper than other places in the larger area. I ended up driving through an area on the hills surrounding the steel plant and it was absolutely fascinating. I had never seen a steel plant before and I have to say the sight and sheer size is impressive. No regrets coming through.

did your lens fog up when you moved out of the heated cabin

Great birding video, can you please share the cruise booking contact. Always wanted to do winter birding in Hokkaido. Thanks you

Wow 😮 such an amazing journey! Thank you for sharing.

Do you need snow chain on the car tyres to drive safely?

Another beauty. Especially the top-down pics of the herring drying racks.

Very nice location. I recently moved to Athens (About 3 months ago) and i also recently started with street photography. I have struggled with Athens since i would really like to go for architecture photos. But in my opinion Athens is not the city for that since alot of the buildings feels like copy and paste. I have alot of time left to explore and also to learn more about street photography but i really liked the theme you were going for.

Last time I was in Hokkaido one of the locals told me that if it gets very snowy you can't access Shiretoko. Do you have any experience with this in February?

Thank you much for amazing destination 😊

Very nice place 😊

Another beautiful video. I am envious.

Been here for the past two years in a row and heading back in June ❤ thanks for sharing, your video made my day!

Your voice and perspective on things are very soothing. I thank you for these videos and photos.

Nicely done Nick

Thanks Nick for your inspirational videos of Wakkanai. We've recently had the pleasure of visiting and photographing Wakkanai and Abashiri in winter. Such a wonderful experience!

Beautiful video ! thanks for sharing.

Thank you for this great video. I live in Hokkaido and visit Biei and Furano often throughout the year. It's a beautiful location and always a pleasure to visit, as well as always providing a multitude of locations for photography.

Thanks for the information, I'm heading there in a month.

So nice

Great video, thx for sharing. Now for those photos, OH MY 🙌🙌Phenomenal, thank you for this amazing work

Did car rental give winter tyres ?

I to agree Michael Kenna is one hell of a photographer.

Well done Nick, beautiful minimalist shots. Superb location.

Some great drone work, Nick, and some of your best stills yet! Interesting to see how many other photographers were out and about in those wonderful minimalist areas.

Great video, well shot and extremely informative.

Lovely stuff, Nick. Looking forward very much to the next episode: I feel I am travelling with you, but keeping warm as well!

Well done Nick. I so enjoyed this walk and felt like I was right there with you. The crunching snow and the intermittent voices and sounds of those amazing people at work made my day. Ted
