Photographer Hisa (@Hisa0808) travels the Japan capturing seasonal natural beauty found around the country, including gorgeous "natural firework" trees and absolutely divine scenes of Nara's sacred deer.

So with a blanket of snowfall adding an extra layer of of shine to an already gorgeous Kyoto, the talented photographer was quick to turn his camera lens to the snowy white old capital. While the scene her captured is awesome in its own right, Hisa had the idea of filming snow falling on one of Kyoto's famous streets, and then reversing it into something even more magical:

"Morning in Kyoto, which has become a snow country. When I tried reverse-playing it, it became something too fantastic."

The snowfall in a simple reverse makes the view captured look as if its been put through a fairytale filter or placed in a snow globe, with flakes of snow elegantly ascending into the sky. The captivating and soothing video has already been viewed over 4 million times.
