On February 2, 2025, visit Heian Jingu Shrine to visit the festival ceremony of the Setsubshi Festival and pray for good luck for the year.

On February 1, 2025, I went to Yoshida Shrine to participate in the Setsubshi Festival, and the "ghosts" roared and chased and scared many children.

When the Sunrise begins to quietly illuminate Fuji, the city is still enveloped in a drowsy atmosphere.
A corner of a small town near Lake Kawaguchi. Through the signboard of a convenience store and the roof of an old building, the majestic figure of Fuji appears.

The soft light from the eastern sky paints the snowy slopes in gold, as if the whole mountain is slowly waking up.
"Sunshine Gold Mountain" – the very moment.
The art of silence and light is condensed into this moment.

In the foreground, a traveler stares at the scene.
Impression and respect are conveyed from his back, which he just looks up without exchanging words.

An extraordinary beauty that is right Soba the everyday.
The moment when you stand on that boundary fills your heart deeply.

Lake Kawaguchi is enveloped in the silence before dawn.
It's 5:30 a.m., There is a the world is still asleep, and countless stars are quietly twinkling in the sky.
On the other side of the lake, Fuji stands quietly, covered in snow, and its dignified appearance is reflected in the clear surface of the lake like a mirror.
Upside-down Fuji to perfection.
Just by being there, the divinity beyond words touches the heart.
The lights of the Lakeside sway softly on the surface of the water, adding warmth to the darkness.
There was no wind, and it was as if time had stopped.
This is the moment when Nature and human activities quietly come together.
Before the start of the day, the world is enveloped in such a beautiful tranquility.

[Kindling a fire in the snow]
The last day of March during Spring Vacation.
I thought it was getting warmer, but the unstable weather in Nishiokoppe Village was a little chilly, and the sky was snowy.

However, the children who gathered in spite of the cold
Have a bonfire and play in the snow. He was in good spirits.

The bonfire is made by the children by hand from the time it is lit.
Practice using matches and think about what kind of wood you can build to make it burn.

The bonfire, which began to burn firmly,
The smoke completely hid the faces of the people on the other side.

Beside the bonfire
Adult or child alike, a serious snowball fight.

Gari baked sweet potatoes were deliciously finished.

There are also seasons when you can see snow and bonfires at the same time
I think it's almost over.

From the end of the year to the beginning of the year, a large fishing flag was hoisted on a fishing boat at Kishiwada Fishing Port ... ( ˶>ᴗ<˶)🎌🚢

The colorful design is eye-catching and cool 🥰💙.

The large fishing flag with various pictures such as sea bream expresses the wish for safe navigation and good fishing.

It was ☀️✨ fluttering in the glittering sun and blue sky

I wish for the safety of the fishermen in Kishiwada City and hope that the fishing industry will prosper this year ... 👏🐟

I have experienced ❄️ snowshoeing in Shiga Highlands
Activities that can be enjoyed even by those who do not ski or snowboard!
If you wear snowshoes, you can 😳 walk in areas that you can't enter during the green season and even on ponds! !️
The Torii (shrine gate) gate is ⛩ covered in snow
Have a snowy white field to yourself 👣 where no one walks
We also found 🐾 several footprints of animals such as rabbits and foxes
Impression ✨️ by all of them are valuable experiences
Why don't you experience snowshoeing that makes everyone from children to adults smile together?
It depends on the remaining snow, but it seems that you can ♪ enjoy it until around the May holidays
