The Japanese New Year!

A happy new year!!

How are you doing?? :)

I got new year's holiday 3 days, so I really enjoyed spending time with my family.

I'll show you some scenery of Japanese new year.

This is "Kagami-mochi".(Rice cake and mandarin orange)

Japanese people lay this "Kagami-mochi" on many places(house, workplace, garage and so on.)

This rice cake is sacrament for Japanese people.

I took this photo at the Otaru station.

If you come to Otaru in New Year's Holidays, you will see many kinds of "Kagami-mochi" at lots of places.

This decoration is also sacred and special thing of Japanese New Year.

We can see this decoration in front of the Otaru station.
