Ume Plum Blossom
・ Hyuga Yakushi ... It is beginning to bloom
・ Sports park ... It's the best time to see it
・Maruyama Castle Park... It's the best time to see it
Under the cold sky, which is completely different from yesterday, the red Ume plum blossoms are in full bloom.
In the precincts of Hyuga Yakushi, beautiful drooping Ume plums are planted, and the appearance side by side with the lanterns is tasteful. There is a Ume plum orchard in the back mountain. Small and pretty white Ume plums are beginning to bloom here and there.
I found a Ume plum tree in a sloping place in the sports park. This is also a bright pink red Ume plum. There are cherry blossom trees around it, and it is a spot where you can enjoy flowers throughout spring.
Maruyama Castle Park is lined with Ume plum trees that seem to be more than 3 meters tall. The overlapping of the petals is beautiful. Some people enjoyed taking a walk.

【Tomorrow is Setsubun Festival】
It will be held at three shrines in Isehara City.
・ Oyama Afuri Shrine Shimosha ... Only for related parties and those who have applied
・ Sannomiya Hibita Shrine ... Oban maki 10 o'clock ~ ・ 12 o'clock ~ ・ 15 o'clock ~
・ Isehara Daijingu Shrine ... Mamemaki bean throwing 15 o'clock ~
Oni is outside~, good fortune is inside~!
It is an event to pray for a healthy and happy life this year and to exorcise evil spirits. There is a saying that if you eat as many times as your age, you will be happy.
At three shrines in Isehara City, a grand mamemaki bean throwing is held in the precincts.
A bean-sowing officer dressed as an event priest lines up on a special stage and scatters lucky beans all at once with shouts. It contains beans and lotteries stored in a baby bag, and local children pick them up with great enthusiasm.
At Hibita Shrine, the Oni Yarai Shinto ritual is a highlight. It has become a traditional event.
By the way, if you sow beans in the house, won't one of the beans you sowed at the end of the year cleaning come out?
For details, please see the website of the Isehara City Tourism Association.

【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.

Operates until 19:00 on Saturdays and Sundays until Sunday, January 28, 2024
The Oyama Cable Car Night View Operation is ♪ being held
*Snowy mountains and night view*
On the first day of the night view, it snowed from around 3 p.m. to 6 p.m., and there were occasional snowstorms. As soon as I saw it, it turned white, and the snow cover was about 5 cm.
At around 6:30 p.m., as soon as the snow stopped, the white field of vision suddenly opened up, and a night view emerged. The brilliance of the city and the snowy scenery were beautiful, and the visitors enjoyed taking pictures.
There is a risk that the road surface is still frozen, so please be careful with your feet and enjoy the view from Mt. Oyama.

【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.
