This video is a Japan winter photography vlog filmed in the extreme north of Japan - Wakkanai and Cape Soya, on the island of Hokkaido. On this trip I'm with my photographer friend, Ted Hamilton and we tackle some extreme winter photography, including street photography, urbex photography, minimalist photography, and snow storm photography in a remote corner of Japan.

At Chitose, they told me "You always come back to Hokkaido." You have the pictures I would have dreamed of getting 20 years ago. JPE takes off-season travel to a whole other level!

Thank you, Jane for that wonderful feedback. They were right at Chitose. I'm in Hokkaido right now - my fifth trip.

recommend getting fingerless gloves and slapping one of those heat packs in your gloves. It helps heaps with handling the camera at those cold temps, although I've never been as north as wakkanai before.

ahhh this has happaned to me once before re:bad flight. What ended up happening is we landed in hakodate instead and then took a short connecting flight to new chitose when the weather got better.

I guess that's the risk when you're flying to Hokkaido in winter. But I wouldn't hesitate to risk it again! Glad you made it to your destination.

Wow! That’s mind blowing! We are planning our second trip to Hokkaidō for this December, but we guess it won’t be that snowed. When did you go when the video was recorded? You’ve done a flawless job!

Thanks for the feedback! This was shot in February 2019, but it was in Wakkanai, way up north, which gets more snow than further south in Hokkaido. Hope you have a great trip!
