What do the urban jungles of Tokyo and historic temples of Kyoto have in common with the tiny hot spring village of Yudanaka? They all look gorgeous in January!

This dreamlike midwinter meander of a film traces a young couple’s journey through Japan in early 2014. Also featured are the famed Tsukiji Market and traditional New Year Basho sumo tournament, plus a dash of bullet trains and tea ceremonies for good measure.

It's a skillfully edited visual love letter to one of our favorite seasons in Japan!
