We are looking for entries for the Winter Triathlon to be Held in in Shinano Town, Nagano Prefecture in March 2025! ⛷️🚴‍♂️🏃‍♀️
Today, I'm going to tell you what to wear for winter triathlon cross-country skiing! There are many people who want to participate in competitions but are wondering what kind of clothes to wear. You may be wondering how it differs from going to a ski resort.
When cross-country skiing, it's best to wear lighter clothes than when skiing at the ski resort! It is a good idea to choose clothing that is easy to move around and easy to put on and take off. When I participated for the first time, I went in ski clothes, but as soon as I moved, I got hot and my clothes got wet with sweat. Therefore, it is essential to wear quick-drying innerwear so that you don't sweat cold! ✨ (The third photo is from when I went in ski clothes (laughs))
Details are also included in the photo, so please refer to it! Please prepare well before the competition and enjoy 🏅💪 it comfortably
Whether you want to give it a try or are still unsure, why not experience the charm of winter triathlon and dive into a new world of sports? 🏅

On New Year's Day 2025, my family and relatives visited Kyoto.
I took a picture of the back of a parent and child holding a child in the Kamogawa River in the evening and watching the long quiet scenery together, so I took a picture.
Wishing you a good year!

It is a Takijiri Oji shrine located on the Kumano Kodo and Nakabe Road Course. From here, it takes one to two days to walk to the Main Shrine Taisha Shrine. Let's walk with the thought of the ancient people.

The practice of swordsmanship was intended above all to nurture the mind.

The samurai, through diligent practice and extreme concentration, desired to attain a state of unthoughtfulness, free of attachment or preoccupation, and thus able to respond instantly.

A warrior is prepared to die each morning. In the quiet moments of the morning, he imagines himself being struck by lightning, doused by fire, or cut to pieces with a sword or spear. It is hard to remember that one step outside the doorway is the world of death.

I hope that such encounters will be repeated for years and decades to come

It is a roosting scene of Magan in Izunuma, Miyagi Prefecture.

I think that the scenery that should have been seen all over Japan in the past is now one of the few precious landscape heritages.
It is said that 90% of the geese that fly to Japan gather here.

I hope that we will continue to weave this ancient original landscape to future generations forever

Happy New Year. Best regards again this year.

Today, I thought it was free, so I took a walk in Kawagoe, but it was quite crowded.

The Way of the Brush

Along with the martial arts, many other arts flourished, including calligraphy, tea ceremony, tea bowls, poetry, incense, and Noh drama, and a samurai needed to have knowledge of both the sword and the brush in order to be seen as a cultured gentleman.
