• The Kinkaku-ji Golden Pavilion is covered with snow in Kyoto, Japan, 25 January 2023. Snow fell mainly on the Sea of Japan side of the Japanese archipelago due to a strong winter-type depression. Winds blew violently in coastal areas of the country, and the coldest air of the winter flowed in as overnight temperatures remained in negative territory across the country. The Japan Meteorological Agency is calling for caution against heavy snow, blizzards and high waves. EPA / JIJI PRESS
