The image depicts a nighttime winter scene in the city of Kutchan, Japan, characterized by active snowfall. A dark, paved pathway extends from the foreground into the midground. In the immediate foreground on the left, a large, layered snow bank rises from the ground. On the right, two dark utility boxes, with "MP-650" visible on one, are partially covered in snow next to the pathway. Adjacent to these boxes stands a bare tree with snow accumulated on its branches. A vertical pole and a partially visible glowing blue sign are also on the right. In the midground to the left, a multi-story building with dark facades and numerous illuminated windows, possibly a resort or hotel, is prominent. A dark sign featuring a yellow triangular logo is visible near its entrance. One individual, dressed in dark clothing and light shoes, stands near this building, looking down at a mobile phone. Further down the pathway, a group of approximately 5-7 individuals in winter attire are walking away from the viewer. The pathway is illuminated by streetlights and decorative trees adorned with yellow string lights. The background reveals a snow-covered hillside or mountain, illuminated by numerous dispersed lights, likely from ski slopes. The sky is dark with visible falling snowflakes, and an orange glow from city lights is present on the distant horizon, particularly towards the right. Extensive snow accumulation is visible on all unpaved surfaces.
