They say, "Kyoto snow is worth more than gold." With the effects of global warming and climate change, what used to be an ordinary winter scene has now become a cherished rarity. Kyoto's snow gently adorns the ancient city, dressing it in a fresh, romantic charm. As I wandered through the alleys of Gion, I could hear the soft whispers of excitement from passersby. Women dressed in elegant kimonos braved the wind and snow, their faces glowing with joy, seemingly untouched by the cold. It’s moments like these that make every frame feel like a timeless story.
