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).

[Notice of the Setsubun Festival on February 2, 2025]
Oni out—fortune in!
Setsubun is a traditional Japanese event held on the day before Risshun (the beginning of spring), and this year it falls on February 2. Face this year’s lucky direction, west-southwest, and either silently eat an ehomaki roll whole while making a wish or eat beans equal to your age.
Drive away evil spirits and pray for a healthy, happy year as you welcome good fortune—please join us for the Setsubun Festival!

On Sunday, January 19, the Ishida Shoko Shinkokai hosted the event at Jounokoshi Park in Higashinase. Locals enjoyed adding New Year decorations and red-and-white and green protective dango (rice dumplings) to bamboo poles and tossing them into the bonfire, then sipping served amazake. The fire department offered ladder truck rides, and performances by the Kojou High School calligraphy club and cheer dance team enlivened the day, along with the Oyama top-spinning contest, making it a lively occasion for both adults and children!
