Kasai Rinkai Park in Edogawaku, Tokyo Metropolis will host the annual Narcissus Festival on Saturday, February 7 and Sunday, February 8. (^○^)
The exchange began more than 20 years ago in 2005 when Shimoda City donated narcissus bulbs to Kasai Rinkai Park, and it continues to this day.
Since fiscal 2006, the Shimoda City Tourism Association has been happily taking part in special events during the Kasai Rinkai Park Narcissus Festival, selling Shimoda products such as kinme croquettes, kinmedai fish head soup, dried fish, Shimoda brand goods, and all-you-can-pack Izu mandarins to promote tourism.✨
Members of the Shimoda Taiko Traditional Preservation Society also join the event to perform traditional drumming with a history of about 400 years on stage.
If you are nearby, please stop by the Shimoda City Tourism Association booth at the Kasai Rinkai Park Narcissus Festival. (^○^)
*The booth photo was taken at last year’s event.*

1/26 第60回 下田温泉水仙まつり開花状況【最盛期】
爪木崎の水仙は、園内全体で最盛期が続いています✨今年は花付きが良く、園内一面に広がる白い水仙は、特に見応えのある時期です📷🤍
落ち着いた雰囲気の中で、花一輪一輪の美しさを感じられます🌼
園内を歩くと、水仙の香りもやさしく漂い、ゆっくりと散策するのにちょうどよいタイミングです🌿個人的なおすすめは、バス停周辺に咲く水仙。広いエリアではありませんが、小さなスペースにぎっしり咲いていて、白が集まった感じがとても良い雰囲気です🤍✨開花の早かったエリア（A・B）では花の一部がやや茶色くなっていたり、風の影響で倒れたりしている様子も見られます。それでも、全体としてはまだまだ鑑賞を楽しめる状態です🌼全体のボリューム感を楽しみたい方は、お早めのご来場がおすすめです😌💭 平地部分は最盛期真っただ中！この先の天候にもよりますが、2月に入ってからも水仙を楽しめそうな状況です👀✨🌼 澄んだ空気と海の景色の中で、水仙の香りに包まれるひとときをぜひ爪木崎でお過ごしください。＼水仙まつり期間中のお楽しみ企画🌼／水仙まつりの開催に合わせ、①Instagramフォトコンテストと②デジタルスタンプラリ

From yesterday (January 22), the secondary station name of Izukyu Shimoda Station has become Shimoda Underwater Aquarium Station (^○^)
Izukyu Shimoda Station is the terminus.
What image comes to mind when you think of a terminus?
The train ends here, but
the town and its stories spread out from this point—
imagining it that way makes sightseeing in Shimoda even more exciting✨
From Izukyu Shimoda Station,
it’s about an eight-minute bus ride or a twenty-minute walk to
Shimoda Underwater Aquarium.
Set in a rich natural environment,
the aquarium floats on the sea using a natural cove, a feature unique to Shimoda.
There are many attractive programs, including experiences where you can play with dolphins🐬
Start your Shimoda sightseeing from the terminus, Izukyu Shimoda,
and enjoy a wonderful time♬

現在の爪木崎の水仙は、ついに全体的に見頃を迎えました～🌼✨園内には最盛期を迎え、あたり一面に白い花とやさしい香りが広がるエリアもあり、見応えがぐっと増してきました！一方で、3～5分咲きのエリアもあり、これから少しずつ花数が増えていく様子も楽しめます🌱
エリアごとに異なる開花状況を楽しめるのも、長い期間水仙を楽しめる爪木崎ならではの魅力です！
売店では、軽食から甘味まで種類豊富でどれもおいしいのも嬉しいポイント😋☝️本日（1月9日）は駐車場に売店を構える、ビラ小沢のよもぎ団子（450円）をチョイス🍡
シンプルな醤油味にしてみました！
