Yuki's House

I recently visited Yuki's house in Japan for the first time. It is in the city of Azumino, in the prefecture of Nagano, which is about 300km northwest of Tokyo. Nagano is where the Winter Olympics were held in 1998, so it has quite a cool climate. I was there for 10 days, and it snowed on four or five days, although not quite at the volume that we've been getting in Toronto this year. Other parts of the prefecture located in the mountains get much more snow, and looking out from her house, there are snow-covered mountain ranges almost 360 degrees around her house. While Azumino has 100,000 people, and Matsumoto, the neighbouring city, has 200,000 people, Yuki's house is located away from the centre of either city, in a very peaceful location, with some farms and many houses in the area. Her house is very beautiful, I hope that you will be able to see that despite my shoddy camera work.
