In the early morning of January 1, I went to Kyoto Fushimi Inari Shrine Hatsumode. They were orderly and considerate of each other, so they went well without being pushed. It's the first time I've done it. A lot of choboti

Cold, delicious tap water from Tomakomai City. The tap water, born from the blessings of Mt. Tarumae, is said to be comparable to bottled mineral water in quality. “Tomachop Water” is a long-selling product that bottles tap water after removing chlorine. The label, adorned with an illustration of Tomakomai City’s official mascot “Tomachop,” is charming. It is also a popular hometown tax gift.

Today, I attended the Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine Monthly Festival. It is Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine around 7:45.

Located in Yamagata Prefecture in Tohoku Japan, Zao is a skiing mecca with a magnificent landscape of trees and ice. During the visit, in January, a strong cold wind caused the conifers on the mountain to freeze, and the ice gradually formed. At this time, the visibility at the top of Zao Mountain is very low, and the tree ice can only be faintly visible, because the tree ice is shaped like a monster, so the tree ice is also called a snow monster. Photographing the magnificent landscape of the tree ice on the Tree Ice Plateau is not a wasted trip.
