I went to a crowded shrine yesterday.

Yesterday, I went to two of the shrines: 

The Meiji- jingu shrine and

The Takahata-fudo shrine.

I took some pictures in the latter shrine.

I'll show some pictures.

I'd love to introduce my new year's card 2016.

Japanese like to send new year card.

Every year, I'm in trouble that which photographs

 I might choose for it.

I'll show my new year's card in 2016.

I paid attention to select the happiest blissful photos.  

When I chose these for my new year's card.
I picked up some extra photos.

I'd show runner-up photographs.

I moved from Nagano prefecture to Tokyo.

I saw the beautiful sky with Jet cloud.

I saw a nice commercial board.

Hello kitty wore a kimono on a commercial board.

We bought some packs of apple Daifuku
(a soft round rice cake stuffed with sweet bean jam).

I ate it on my car.

A happy new year

We welcomed new year in Nagano prefecture.

I took this picture in Suwa parking area
on the Chuo express way. 

In new year's day, adults give "Otoshidama(money)" to children
They use small bags to pass money to children.
I was surprised that the bags were sold in a highway parking.

In the parking area,
I saw a conveyed bread basket hunged from a rail.

I tried to ride a skate board.

I had tried to ride a skateboard, 

I have envied the person who can do it.

I had bought a skateboard, but it was

too expensive to buy it.

I had gave up to ride it.

One day, My friend lent me a skateboard.

I enjoyed to ride the skateboard by the

Tama river.

I visited the Sugamo shopping street.

I went to the Sugamo shopping street where is a famous

street in Japan. The street is liked by elderｌｙ people.

Many foods and items for elderｌｙ are sold.

Therefore, The Sugamo shopping street can gather

a lot of elderｌｙ people. I had wanted to take a watch

 the street since then.

I got off a train at the Shin-jyuku JR station.

Recently, Japanese board commercial are performed

by the flat-panel TV monitors.  

I visited the Gokoku-ji temple on the way to
the Sugamo street.

Sugamo Togenuki Jizo-son, the guardian diety of children

I got on a train at this Sugamo station to return home.

The Christmas illumination

I saw some beautiful illuminations in December 25th.

Recently, many commercial district tend to be furnished 

with them. Maybe, the facility has a power to bring

more customers.
