[Please be careful of mountain accidents] As of Monday, February 3, 2025, Mt. Ooyama is hidden in clouds but covered in white. The photo shows the state of Oyama Afuri Shrine Lower Shrine on February 2. Please take extra care when going out.
Also, climbing Mt. Ooyama (especially from the Lower Shrine to the summit) requires proper equipment.
Be sure to prepare, such as wearing trekking shoes and bringing trekking poles.
In the coming season, Mt. Ooyama can have enough snow that crampons may be required on some days.
*The Mount Oyama Summit Public Toilet is currently unavailable due to a frozen water supply pipe. Please start early to allow plenty of time and use nearby toilets such as those at Oyama Afuri Shrine Lower Shrine before you leave.*
★Essential gear for safe mountain climbing
Backpack: a rucksack to carry your gear
Hat: to protect your head from sun and cold
Rainwear: waterproof clothing; a two-piece set is recommended
Sunglasses: to protect your eyes from sun and glare off the snow
Sunscreen: to protect your skin from UV rays
Change of clothes and warm layers: to change into if you sweat or the temperature drops
Gloves and neck warmer: for cold protection
Crampons: metal traction devices attached to boot soles to prevent slipping on snow or ice
Mountaineering boots or walking shoes (flat-soled sneakers are dangerous because they are slippery)
Don’t forget water and food!
★About submitting a climbing notification
To enjoy climbing Mt. Ooyama safely, please submit a climbing notification.
You can also submit a notification online via the QR code.
Scan the QR code with your smartphone or tablet, enter the required information, and submit.
Submitting a climbing notification helps prepare for emergencies and enables prompt rescue operations if needed.
We appreciate your cooperation.

Setsubun Festival on February 2, 2025
On Sunday, February 2, 2025, the Setsubun Festival was held at Ōyama Afuri Shrine Lower Shrine, Sannomiya Hibita Shrine (guests: sekitori stablemasters Takadagawa, Ryurai, Shonan no Umi, Teru; rakugo storyteller Sanyūtei Yukichi), and Isehara Daijingu.
The morning brought unfortunate rain, and snow fell in the cold at Ōyama Afuri Shrine Lower Shrine, but many worshippers still gathered.
At the customary bean-throwing, everyone chanted “Fuku wa uchi, oni wa soto!” to drive away demons and welcome good fortune.
There was also a lottery exchangeable for koban coins and other draws, with lovely prizes awarded, making the event very lively!

Isehara Flower Report — January 31, 2025
The days are still bitterly cold. With the Setsubun Festival on Sunday, February 2, weather is on everyone’s mind, so dress warmly when you go out.
Walking along the Oyama koma approach, you’ll be soothed by the sweet scent of the yellow, delicate flowers of robai (wintersweet).
Plum blossoms are beginning to open here and there. Many buds remain, but it’s exciting to watch the blooms progress from now on!
*Utage Bunko* (Kamikasuya 862-1)
The robai beside the torii in the parking area is still beautiful.
Most plum trees in the grove are still in bud, but you can see a patch of rapeseed flowers blooming toward the back.
*Maruyama Castle Ruins Park* (Shimokasuya 2168-2)
The robai at the park entrance is in bloom.
The plum trees beyond the stairs are developing many buds; the white plums have not opened yet, but red plums are starting to bloom.
*Isehara City General Sports Park* (Nishitomioka 320)
The plum trees between the cherry- and ginkgo-lined slope up to the entrance are beginning to show buds.
*Hinata Yakushi Plum Grove* (Hinata 1644)
The plum grove behind Hinata Yakushi is just starting to form buds.

The 22nd Lively Senior Isehara Festival 2025
On Saturday, January 25, the Isehara Lifelong Learning Volunteer Association and the Isehara Tourism Volunteer Guide & Walk Association co-hosted the event at the Central Community Center. This year’s festival proved to be a lively day where children through seniors could mingle and enjoy activities across generations. The Sanno Junior High School brass band’s selections—“Sekai ni Hitotsu Dake no Hana,” “Tsugaru Kaikyo Fuyugeshiki,” and “Matsuken Samba” among them—sent the crowd into a roar and filled the venue with warm smiles!
The energetic rec dance by the Smile Club, a passionate kodan (traditional storytelling) performance of “Ota Dokan” by Kotosei Takarai, a bold martial demonstration by the Isehara Handmade Armor Corps, and songs by local singer Keiko Ogura were all well received and contributed to the lively atmosphere!
Building on the 22nd festival and continuing enjoyable events helps release feel-good hormones, bringing energy and vitality to everyone!
For Isehara’s further development and to support the realization of an NHK Taiga drama about the Sengoku warlord Ota Dokan, we ask for your cooperation starting with a signature campaign. Let’s raise the excitement together!
We’re also looking forward to the Sanno Junior High School brass band and chorus club’s next regular concert on Saturday, March 15 (Isehara Civic Cultural Center, curtain at 3:00 PM).
