Winter Sunrise @ Uga Shrine Lake Nojiri 宇賀神社の冬の日の出 野尻湖

4K drone film on a beautiful misty winter morning around Uga Shrine on Biwa Island in Lake Nojiri, Shinanomachi, Nagano.
The amazing waterside Torii gate creates a wonderful mystical scene when the freezing air blows off the land and turns into a slow swirling mist over the lake's surface. The effect is common around sunrise on very cold winter days, and doesn't last long as the sun rises above the horizon and quickly disperses the mist.
Filmed in late January 2024, Japan.
