Daily Life, Travels and Events in Reiwa

April 7, 2025: Cherry blossoms around Wakayama Castle were in full bloom and looked absolutely beautiful. Many stalls were set up around Wakayama Castle, and the area was filled with the joyful laughter of children. https://tetsuyasogo2021.blogspot.com/2025/04/april-6-2025-beautiful-cherry-blossoms.html?m=1

March 19-20, 2025: On a visit to my hometown of Wakayama for dinner with old friends, I stayed overnight at Hanayama Onsen, a place I had always wanted to visit. This hot spring is one of Japan's most renowned natural onsen, rich in minerals, iron, and other elements that crystallize in the bathtub, as well as having a high concentration of carbon dioxide. There were very few guests, especially in the early morning, so I was able to enjoy this spacious and intensely therapeutic hot spring all to myself. https://tetsuyasogo2021.blogspot.com/2025/03/march-19-20-2025-hanayama-onsen-in.html?m=1

January 2, 2025: Went to Katsuoji Temple (勝尾寺) in Minoh, Osaka for my first shrine visit of the New Year. The Daruma of Katsuoji Temple is not a figure that grants wishes. By writing your wish and filling in one eye, it serves as a means to face yourself and overcome your inner weaknesses. https://tetsuyasogo2021.blogspot.com/2025/01/january-2-2025-katsuoji-temple-in-minoh.html?m=1
