【Isehara Flower Information】 January 22, 2024 Hyuga Yakushi, Ametake Bunko, Plum in the General Sports Park ... It is beginning to bloom. Plum blossoms are beginning to bloom in Isehara City. Perhaps due to the influence of the warm winter, it seems that the flowering is earlier than usual. The scent is good, and you can feel the arrival of spring a little earlier. By the way, wax plum is also a yellow flower that blooms during this season, but this is a member of the Roubai family, and it seems to be a different variety from the plum of the Rosaceae family. In any case, I'm looking forward to seeing it in full bloom.

【First Yakushi in Reiwa 6】 Yesterday, the annual Yakushi event "Hatsuyakushi" was held, and it was crowded with many pilgrims. Around 12 o'clock, there was a line of cars in the parking lot of the Hyuga Yakushi bus stop and the Yakushi Forest Road, and it was difficult to pass each other. After turning back, I was finally parked in the parking lot of Bochu and walked from the mountain gate to the main hall. An elderly man who came down said, "You're afraid to come, I don't have porridge anymore," and I stopped in my tracks. But a picture is worth a thousand words. We had just started the climb, so we hurried ahead. When I went up to the main hall, I found that the porridge oven was still being cleaned, and unfortunately I couldn't have it this year. However, even after the distribution of porridge was over, there were constant pilgrims, and it was Hyuga Yakushi who was celebrating a lively New Year's holiday.
