When I went to Minami Izu to see the Sakura festival I found the horsetail there for the 1st time this year.
We, Japanese fell that the spring has come when we see this horsetail.
Last year I could take a photo of it under the Sakura tree, but Sakura has not bloomed enough yet this year.
When I went to Shimokamo town in Minami Izu for my buissines I went to see Sakura blossom.
When I went there last time I could not find Sakura blossoms, but today I found some flowers.
It has been very warm in Izu in these days, so I think the flowers waked up.
After that I went to the field of rape.......
Today I went to Ito city, where it takes about 50 minutes by car, to see the Fire Festival of Mt. Omuro with my son.
Before getting there we had a taraffic jam but we could get there at around 11:30.
From just noon this festival started with the sound of fireworks.
From today, February 10th, "Kawazu Sakura Festival" is held in Kawazu town until March 10th.
I usually go to shopping to Shimoda, but today, I went to the supermarket in Kawazu town and saw this festival with my son, Yuuki.
In order to the information of Kawadu Sakura blooming , that I found through the internet, almost of every trees did not have Sakura bloomed.
After walking wiht my son I found one of trees, that had the flower of Sakura...
.
Today it was sunny, so I went to Minami Izu (Southern Izu) to take a photo of rape blossoms.
This place is a gate of "Shimokamo Onsen", there is a big field of rapes.
We have "Cherry and rape blossoms festival" in this area every year and "Rape blossoms wedding ceremony" will be held in this field on February 12th, Sunday. It is real wedding and 1 couple will be married.
Would you like to see the photos of this wedding? (Japanese only)
My wife said to me " I want to finish my work of accounting, so please be with Yuuki for 2 days."
That's why I went to Kawazu and Amagi mountain with my children yesterday.
I had an appointment in Shimoda this afternoon, so I wanted to go and decided to go to Touji beach.
Yes, they have a Secret cave and Sand ski in Touji.

When I got up this morning it was very cold in Shirahama, because it snowed.
"When does the spring come this year?"
When I saw the snow this morning I thought like that.
But the spring had already come in Kawazu town next to Shirahama.
It was very strong windy today.
In the winter we sometimes have windy day like today.
Especially west wind is really strong. That's why many ships come to Shirahama beach to wait this wind finish.
I heard that about 500 ships go through over Irozaki cape a day, it is very dangerous for these ships when the wind is strong.
From this month, February this Jetfoil goes to Izuoshima and Tateyama in Chiba Pref for 1 month.
In this season "Tsubaki (Camellia) Festival in Izuoshima and Kawazu Sakura(Cherry blossom) Festival in Kawazu and Minami Izu are held, so this ship is operated from February 8th to March 14th.
The first Jetfoil was build by The Boeing Company in 1975.

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.
