In the company of Matthieu Zellweger, a talented photographer and guide madly in love with Japan, the author of a beautiful new book on sake, explore a Japan he’s especially fond of: northern, mountainous Japan, during the winter season. Japanese demeanour, food, customs… From Sapporo to Tokyo via Kanazawa, from cold to less cold, from the volcanoes to the ocean, everything is different under the many feet of snow northern Japan receives every year.

Matthieu will show you a series of his photos and share the atmosphere that fascinates him in winter in Japan. He will give a description of the trip he has created and which we will propose in February 2019.
