Will Tomakomai continue into spring...? On March 17th the city recorded about 25 cm of snowfall. Since it was wet March snow, it is expected to melt soon.
At Utonai Lake, the snowy landscape made a great backdrop for a graceful great egret in flight.✨

Is this a great egret?
It is releasing a small twig it grabbed along with a tiny fish.
Today marks the start of March. The expected high is 11°C, and it looks set to be a warm, springlike day.

Tomachop at the tourist information center has transformed from the female hina doll to the male hina doll ✨
Doesn’t he look sharp and handsome?
I’ve lined up images of the female hina doll version from just the other day 🌸
Did you know: In Hokkaido, like in the Kanto region, the female hina doll is placed on the viewer’s right and the male on the viewer’s left. 🎎
I’ve heard that in places like Kyoto, the positions of the male and female hina dolls are reversed 🌸

What made these patterns left in the snow?
The answer is… the tracks of an Ezo deer! 🦌
Ezo deer are one of the animals familiar to Tomakomai residents, sometimes appearing around Tomakomai Station and in residential neighborhoods.
