On a chilly January morning at the Pilatus Tateshina Snow Resort in Chino City, Nagano Prefecture, a unique scene unfolded at Tsuboniwa. Fluffy new snow adorned the frozen branches, transforming them into delicate structures reminiscent of white deer antlers. The backdrop of a cold, overcast sky accentuated the intense chill of the 2237-meter-high winter wonderland.

In the freezing altitude of Tsuboniwa, a captivating detail caught my eye.
