A Nostalgic Journey Back to Shinshu: Reliving the Scenic Charms of Matsumoto in Early Winter

On November 22nd, as I walked along the Meotoba River, I caught sight of the snow-capped peak of 'Norikura.' Despite having strolled along this river many times before, I hadn't realized that I was gazing upon Norikura. The previous day's news about the snow in the Alps had captured my attention, prompting an irresistible urge to witness it in person.
