When I was walking this morning I
found out the beautiful white field on the beach.
First of all I
thought it was snow, but the beach was covered with snow frost actually.
We don't have many times a year to see such a beautiful scenery here in Shimoda.
They
are from Germany and some of them have lived in Tokyo since last July.
It was the 2nd time for them to come to Shimoda, and they stayed at
Sakuraya for the 1st time as their friends who stayed at Sakuraya 2
years ago recommended them our Pension.
When they checked out they said,
"We will come back here with my sister in law this summer."
We were very glad to hear that!
Thank you
for staying with us and we are looking forward to meeting you in summer.
We went to the nearest shrine called
'Shirahama Jinja' this afternoon for the 1st time this year.
Most of
Japanese go to the shrine at the beginning of the new year to pray the
health and the good luck for this year.
It was very cold there but there were a lot of people at the shrine.
.
My second daughter works
as 'Miko' , a shrine maiden for the 1st time of her life.
It had been
very hard for her to work outside because of the cold wind, but it will
be a good experience for her.
I took this picture this morning.
This is the 1st breakfast this year.
We had a lot of customers in this new year holiday.
Thank you very much for staying with us.
We wish you, everybody, a happy new year!
