Today it was rainny in Shirahama, so I was in my house all day.
After school my sisters came back to home and teached me how to write on the paper.
At that time my sister said to my mother .........

Today it was very warm, so I went to this place to take a photo.
I walked down the small road in the bush from Route 135, there are big rocks and I can find this cave.
(You can see the photo of rocks and sea, that I took last January in the main page of our website.)
It is a really fantastic place here, but probably most travellers do not know it.
Do you know where it is?

From tomorrow we will start to repair our building.
This time we will repair the roof, the walls outside and the walls of inside of Japanese style rooms.
So we can not be able to accept the reservation until March 20th.
But we accept the reservation of only February 10th, Friday and 11th, Saturday.
After all construction we are looking forward to meeting you again at renewed Sakuraya.
Please understand our situation. Thank you very much.
Actually I went to take a photo yersterday and was going to post this photo last night.
But I had new year party last night and I came back to my home at around 1:30am.
Besides I drunk so much, so could not post this photo.
This place is "Inubashiri" embankment in Shimoda, near Shimoda blanch of Japan coast guard.
In Summer a lot of people come here for fishing.
There is a rental house of fishing tools, pole, food for fish, bucket and etc, so we can rent it 1,500 yen if we do not have any tools for fishing.
But this house was closed yesterday, probable they open it during summer.
When I went to this embankment one of them told me, "I could get a lot of sardines yesterday, but today ....... ."
Why don't you have a good time there when you come to Shimoda?
Today it was sunny and beautiful too, so I went to take a photo.
This is one of my favorite place in Shirahama, near the gate of Shimoda city, "Ogasaki Wing".
In my home country, Miyazaki Prefecture in Kyushu, we can see a lot of palm trees in many places, for example, at the main street of Miyazaki city, on the road from airport, along the river and etc.
I had been watching this scenery since I was born.
When I moved here 12 years ago, I found these trees at many places in Shimoda too.
That's why I love Shirahama and Shimoda.
My son Yuuki and me took a walk around our Pension under the warm sunlight today.
After that we spend a time at the flower field of Narcissus "Suisen".
We found some melons, "Hayato Uri" in Japanese, that we cook it for pickles of Miso every winter in the field.
It was very slow time and slow day today.
Since yesterday afternoon, it has been sunny and beutiful in Shimoda.
Today my son Yuuki, my wife and me went to Tsumekizaki in Shimoda to see "Suisen Festival", the flowers of Narcissus.
In this photo we can see the light house on the cape, small creek and Izu seven islands in Pacific ocean behind my son.
Suisen flowers are blooming but .......

Today it was very cold and rainny in Shirahama.
When I was watching TV news in this morning a lot of students were going into the gate of University to take the examination of Nation University through the falling snow.
In according to this TV news, the English Listenning Test started from this year and all
of students who want to get into the National University have to take it.
I think that it is good for them but really hard for them and their parents.

When I went shopping I went to Shirahama beach to take a photo of winter flower.
Do you know this flower? Have you ever seen it in Japan?
This flower is called "Suisen" in Japanese, it means Narcissus or Daffodil.
In Shimoda we have "Suisen Festival" in every winter at Tsumekizaki cape. (It takes about 15 minutes by car from Sakuraya.)
There is a right house on the hill and small creek in front of the flowers, so we can see and feel the beautiful Japanese local nature with Pacific Ocean and Izu seven islands, and it would be good experience for you.
Please see the photos that I took there a few years ago.
Suisen Festival
It was cloudy today in Shirahama, but my son "Yuuki" and I went to the beach to take a walk.
Yuuki loves the sea and the water. When I took him near the sea, he suddenly started to walk toward the water. I took him back but he repeated it again and again.
After that he found the cap of juice bottle and started to play with it lying on the sand. Lovely baby, Yuuki!
"Hello, everybody! My mother bought me this yellow cap. It looks good on me, right?!
"By the way my father posted the photos of Yunessun where we went 2 days ago into Sakuraya's Webpage. Please check it out. You can see the photos of my sister and me!"
On January 15th, I went to Hakone with my family to take a bath in Hakone Kowakien Spa Resort "Yunessun" in Kanagawa Pref.
After we parked our car at the 2nd parking lot we could get to the Spa building by shattle bus.
It was cloudy and cold there but very warm in the building. We changed the clothes in the dressing room and went into the Spa zone.
There are many kinds of Spa, the God's Aegean sea, Ancient Roman Bath, Turkish Hamam and etc inside the building, so we were able to be relaxing them with a variety of water massaging devices, and excited Dead sea Spa using salt imported from Dead sea in the middle sea. (But my children could not take this spa because they had pain on the skin.)
After luch we were going to outside, but we gave it up. Because it was really cold there. Actually we wanted to take Green tea Spa, Japanese Sake Spa, Wine Spa and etc, but we recommend to go to Hakone except cold season.
But we could spend good time and experience there. My children could be excited. (The baby in diaper are allowed here. But please use the disposable and waterproof diaper.)
Next time we want to take another Spa "Mori no Yu"in this Yunessun Spa resort, the traditional Japanese style Onsen, sectioned into private areas for women and for men in beautiful natural settings outside.
P.S: I posted the photos that I took today into my webpage. Thank you.

Last year, a couple from Oklahoma in the United states stayed at our Pension on December 1st.
And this time we were very surprised that we got the present with some cards and photo from them by mail.
This is a "Dream Catcher" which made by the Cherokee Nation Native Indians.
According to several native american tribes, Dream Catchers are believed to trap the evil which is floating around in the air, much like a spider's web snares everything in its path.
These our guest stayed at our Pension for only 1 ngiht, but they said in their letter,
"Thank you for being more than the perfect host, for also becoming our friends." or "Had to thank you for your wonderful hospitality."
We appreciated it very much and it is also our plesure.
Thank you very much, Doctor and Madam.
It was very warm today, so I wen to Shirahama beach with my son, Yuuki.
It was first time for him to walk by himself for the long time on the sand. He was very excited and had a good time, I guess.
By the way as you saw in this photo, there was a "Dondo Yaki" in the beach.
"Dondo Yaki" is the Japanese traditional bonfire performed at the beginning of New Year.
We, Japanese bring "Okazari" or " Shimenawa", the decorations for the New Year celebration, and burn it in the early morning.
The tradition says that the smoke of Dondo Yaki bring good health and good luck.
I had seen it 3 years ago and took the phots. Please check it out. "Dondo Yaki" (Sorry, Japanese only)
I guess that we can not see this traditional event in the big city in Japan, but would you like to see it?
It will be held on Sunday, January 15th. Good Luck with you!
