Sunday, March 10, 2024
Opening ceremony 9:00–9:20 at Isehara Elementary School grounds

The long-running 39th Oyama Mountain Climb Marathon returns this year!
Runners set off from in front of Isehara Station and race along Oyama Shinmichi toward the goal at the lower shrine of MtOoyama Afuri Shrine.
The uphill gradually begins around Ishikura Bridge, and the climbing curve in front of Koyasu Myojin Hibita Shrine looks pretty steep.
From the old road to Koma Sando and then on the Onnazaka route, if you run—or rather climb—you will reach the goal at the lower shrine of MtOoyama Afuri Shrine.
Road restrictions will be in place during the event, so please be careful.
For details, see the official website.
★ Start times
10:00 (Men aged 50s and 60s and over)
10:30 (Men in their 40s; Women under 39; Women 40 and over)

[Isehara Flower Report] 3.01
Okame cherry blossoms along Oyama Shinmichi are beginning to bloom

March starts today.
I felt the arrival of spring as graduation ceremonies seemed to be taking place at high schools across Isehara City.
Spring news is coming from MtOoyama too♪
Okame cherry trees have been planted along the roughly 3-kilometer stretch of Oyama Shinmichi (bypass), and pink blossoms are beginning to open.
The trees at the foot are still young, so their trunks are thin and they seem to bloom earlier.
Overall, it feels like flowering is a little early this year due to warm temperatures. They should reach their best viewing next week.
Seeing the flowers from the car window makes a drive more enjoyable.

Isehara Flower Report 2.19
A rainy day in Isehara.
With the mild weather, flowers are starting to bloom all over.
- Kawazu-zakura along Shibutagawa River…starting to bloom
- Kawazu-zakura at Maruyama Castle Park…in full bloom
- Plum trees at the Sports Park…in full bloom
- Plum trees at Hinata Yakushi…about half bloomed
- Okame-zakura along Oyama Shinmichi…buds
The forecast doesn’t look great this week, so I worry whether the flowers will hold out until the next sunny day, but let’s hope we can take photos under a blue sky!

Isehara Flower Report 2024.02.02
Plum Blossoms
- Hinata Yakushi…starting to bloom
- Sports Park…in full bloom
- Maruyama Castle Ruins Park…in full bloom
Under a chillier sky than yesterday, the red plum blossoms are proudly in full bloom.
A beautiful weeping plum tree stands in the grounds of Hinata Yakushi, and its view beside the stone lanterns is very picturesque. There is a plum grove on the back hill. Small, charming white plum blossoms are beginning to appear here and there.
I found plum trees on a slope inside the Sports Park. These are vivid pink red plums. Cherry trees surround them, making this a spot full of spring blooms.
At Maruyama Castle Ruins Park, plum trees that appear over three meters tall line the area. Their overlapping petals are stunning. Some people were enjoying a stroll.

Setsubun Festival Tomorrow
The festival will be held at three shrines in Isehara City.
・Lower Shrine of Oyama Afuri Shrine…Only for related parties and those who applied
・Sannomiya Hibita Shrine…Koban coin toss at 10:00, 12:00, and 15:00
・Isehara Daijingu Shrine…Bean-throwing at 15:00
Oni out—fortune in!
This ritual drives away evil spirits and prays for a healthy, happy year ahead. There is a tradition that eating as many beans as your age will bring good fortune.
Lively bean-throwing ceremonies take place on the grounds of the three shrines in Isehara City.
People dressed as the bean-throwing hosts line up on a temporary stage and, with calls, throw lucky beans all at once. The beans are packed in small bags with lottery tickets inside, and local children eagerly scramble to collect them.
At Hibita Shrine, the demon-driving ceremony is a highlight and a traditional event.
By the way, if you throw beans inside the house, don’t you sometimes find a bean you missed when doing the year-end big cleaning?
For details, please see the Isehara City Tourism Association website.

Kururin House Valentine♡
~News from Kururin House inside the station~
February starts today.
At Kururin House inside the station, the Kururins welcome everyone in a Valentine mood.
At the 2023 Dōkan Festival, Kururin marked 10 years since debut, and March 1, the city’s founding day, is celebrated as Kururin’s birthday.
Kururin, the official image character of Isehara City, has become a true symbol of the town. He wears a top made from the traditional Oyama spinning top craft on his head.
The bellflower mark on Kururin’s back represents the city flower, and they say touching it brings happiness.
Responding to Isehara citizens’ fondness for Kururin, the tourism association has planned and proposed various products.
The lineup now includes classic Pilot ballpoint pens, notepads and other stationery, nylon eco bags, pin badges, mugs and more.
Kururin goods available only in Isehara make great gifts!
