Sir🏂

When I was taking a walk the other morning, there was frost. Beautiful, isn't it? I like this feeling of clear air. It's winter...

What are you talking about?

"Mt. Fuji envelops and watches over Tokyo" I was very impressed by the feeling that Mt. Fuji, one of the symbols of Japan, is watching over the people living in Tokyo while majestically enveloping Tokyo, the capital of Japan, where countless buildings are crowded. This photo was taken from a plane heading from Tokyo to Hokkaido on New Year's Day.

Iwanai Onsen wins the Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications Prize in the Onsen General Election 2023!!! Iwanai Onsen ranked first in Hokkaido by total votes 👏 and placed fifth nationwide in the ‘Smooth Skin’ category 👏. In addition, its past activities were recognized with the Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications Prize. The Onsen General Election is a citizen-participation project to revitalize hot spring areas, held since 2016 with the endorsement of five ministries and agencies (the Ministry of the Environment, the Cabinet Office, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, and the Japan Tourism Agency). Iwanai Onsen is a natural hot spring with high temperatures averaging 42–47°C, where you can fully enjoy free-flowing spring water. One attractive feature is that two different waters gush from the foot of the same mountain. One is a bicarbonate spring derived from rainwater that has seeped through the mountains and enriched with minerals. The other is a chloride spring originating from the sea, enriched by the ocean’s bounty. Both waters contain natural mineral components known to offer high benefits for beauty and health, and they fill the baths pure and untreated, without dilution or reheating. In the Iwanai Onsen area, Takashima Ryokan achieved: Hokkaido overall vote: 1st place 👏 Nationwide ‘Smooth Skin’ category: 3rd place 👏 Nationwide ‘Proud Dinner’ category: 3rd place 👏 Nationwide ‘Seafood’ category: 2nd place 👏 Nationwide ‘Solo Travel’ category: 1st place 👏 It ranked highly across these categories. We hope this helps more people learn, “Oh, I didn’t know Iwanai Town has hot springs!” And we hope many people will take this opportunity to visit Iwanai Onsen.

Teachers’ Read-Aloud Play They spent only three weeks rehearsing. In that short time, elementary and junior high school teachers gathered in the elementary school gym after work to do warm-ups, voice exercises, and acting practice. Holding scripts, they conveyed the story through a read-aloud play. Reading, projecting the voice, and performing the narration. They considered the intention behind each line and who it was addressed to. They asked how best to read each passage so it would reach the audience. With each rehearsal, the tones of the teachers’ voices grew richer and reached the ear more deeply. When they moved to stage rehearsals, tension and excitement filled not only the cast but the staff as well. Looking back, the final week’s push felt truly intense. We were delighted that not only the teachers’ former pupils—elementary and junior high students—but people of many ages came to watch. On a stage lit by a pale pink moon, wrapped in the sound of guitar and violin, they delivered a confident read-aloud performance. Thank you very much.

Final Day of Activities at Korakuen Garden Since June, I visited the garden several times to help with maintenance. As of November 2nd, this year’s activities have concluded. During the hot months we waded into the pond to scoop out mud, and even in the chilly November weather we waded in to gather fallen leaves. What to do with the collected leaves… "That’s it — onion netting!" It seems the group leader suddenly had a flash of inspiration. I’d like to drop by on the first day of next year’s activities as well.
