      After several days under clouds and snow, the sun shone over central   
      Honshu Island, Japan on January 11, 2023. On that same day, the   
      Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on board NASA’s   
      Aqua satellite acquired a true-color image of the Japanese Alps covered   
      in freshly-fallen snow, while banks of cloud sit over the Sea of Japan   
      (East Sea) and the North Pacific Ocean.   
      
      After several snowfalls in December, most of the ski resorts on Honshu   
      are operating on a full schedule. Lower-elevation foothills and the   
      coastal plains remain snow-free in this image. Additional snow is   
      expected over the next few days.   
      
      The city of Tokyo, the largest city and capital of Japan, can be seen   
      as a large area of gray pixels along the western coast of Tokyo Bay.   
      Part of Boso Peninsula, which forms the eastern boundary of Tokyo Bay,   
      is hidden under cloud. To the west of Tokyo and north of the Izo   
      Peninsula, snow and cloud cover Mt. Fuji, Japan’s iconic volcano.   
      Although still considered an active volcanic, the last eruption of Mt.   
      Fuji occurred on December 16, 1707.
