Local trains + night + snow + 5 Centimeters per Second soundtrack is a heart-wrecking combination. 10/10 would recommend.

An amazingly Russian-looking house in Hakodate. Brick and plaster facades are a rare sight in Japan due to frequent earthquakes and summer humidity (Hokkaido is better than the main island but still the cracks here illustrate the problem pretty well).

As I am still saving up money and courage to buy a new camera I’ll make a few more posts about Hakodate with the last photos that my old canon 5D took before it met its end on an icy asphalt road one fateful day in January.
