This photo shows the icicles of Sanjutsuchi (三十槌), a series of icicles on the opposite bank of the river, taken from the front, expressing the beauty of the formations created by nature.

This photo was taken at Misotsuchi icicles to give a sense of the power of the countless rows of icicles that cover the entire cliff.

In this photo, I captured the beautifully shaped icicles of Sanjutsuchi (三十槌) together with ferns growing at their feet to create a natural contrast.

This photo is a close-up of the tsurara (icicles) formed on the icicles of Sanjutsuchi (三十槌), hanging from the ropes, to emphasize the texture of the ice.

This photo was taken at Misotsuchi icicles, with an eye toward the beautiful tsurara on the other side of the river and the reflections on the water.

This photo was taken at the Misotsuchi icicles to document a group of icicles that were particularly spectacular at the site.

This photo shows the icicles of Misotsuchi, and the well-shaped icicles and the river together create a winter valley atmosphere.

This photograph of the icicles of Sanjutsuchi (三十槌) was taken by looking down from the top of the cliff where the parking lot is located and using a tripod to get a stable composition of the entire area.
