この地で生まれ育って半世紀以上で初めて見た琵琶湖南湖でのしぶき氷です。北湖は亜寒帯に属すので冬の風物詩だそうですが、温帯に属す南湖ではまず起こらない現象で、たまたま車で通りかかった時に湖岸に延々とビニール袋が漂着したのかと思いましたが近づいたら氷なので、珍しくて写真撮りました。前日のTVニュースで見たらしいカメラマン達が全国から早朝の条件が良い時間を狙うために、クソ寒い湖岸に無数にテント張ってましたね。対岸中央の山は世界遺産延暦寺がある比叡山です。

Some photos I took while passing through the area. Lit up trees ready for Christmas near Toyocho Station! I also spotted these pandas around a Christmas tree at Ueno Station as well and thought it was cute. It's funny how fast Halloween ends and almost immediately we start to see Christmas decorations lol. It's not dissimilar with the US though. Every time Halloween ends it's like someone flips a switch and suddenly all of the Halloween decorations become Christmas decorations. Speaking of Halloween though, I actually saw children trick or treating in the streets this year which was really nice considering all the restrictions over the past 2 years. It also seems like the culture of Halloween has started to become a bigger part of Japanese culture over the last 5 years or so. I still love that Christmas is a dating holiday in Japan though. It feels like a romantic holiday anyways, I think it's better this way personally.

Dropped by a cafe near Oji Station the other day and ordered a small chocolate cake and a tea. It looks strikingly similar to the one I had at the pasta restaurant a few days ago, with very minor differences lol. I didn't take a photo of the tea unfortunately, I was too focused on eating the cake?. I suppose it's a popular dessert combination as it seems quite easy but delicious at the same time. The cafe is called Dining Cafe Tagen (ダイニング カフェTAGEN). When I passed it on Halloween they were opening the large doors at the front of the shop and preparing some sort of Halloween event, although I wasn't able to see exactly what was going on with it. They had a big speaker as well, so maybe they were going to sing and give candy away lol. I'm not really sure though. I think they were wearing costumes as well, it looked pretty interesting. It's a nice place though. It can be a bit cramped at times but otherwise it's a nice place to go for a coffee and dessert if you're in the area. You can also take the streetcar (Tokyo Sakura Tram) to get there as well which is a plus!

お城のライトアップは初めて見たかも? 姫路城こと白鷺城めっちゃ照らされてましたw

この年は忙しい年でした。 自分へのご褒美として定山渓の温泉宿に圧迫しました。温泉街を散策していると川の岩になんとも可愛らしいもふもふな雪が積もっていて思わずシャッターを切った一枚です。
