Mombetsu, Hokkaido Japan. Street Photography in a Snowstorm.

Welcome to Japan Photo Explore, where we travel to and photograph extraordinary places. Its winter, and in this episode I am in Mombetsu, on the island of Hokkaido, Japan. During an overnight stay, Mombetsu is hit with a snowstorm is so severe, that all roads out of the city are closed. I can't leave, so do I stay in the warmth of my hotel or do I go out to take photos in a snowstorm?
