New Year Fireworks

Have you ever seen winter fireworks ?

Here in Takayama, the city launches beautiful "Hanabi" to celebrate the new year coming.

The fireworks are launched from the Sky park at 20:00.

Good places to see it : the train station, the city hall and near the river.

By the way do you know how to wish a good year in Japanese ?

• "あけましておめでとう！/Ake mashite omedetou ! " it says the 1st of January,
• "良いお年を！/ Yoi o toshi wo !" can be said any day.  

Lets' enjoy a great evening and start the next year with beautiful memories.

Winter season will soon starts !

In Takayama we get the first snow in the city on the 10th of November. It was a really light snow but our manager made us betting on the first snow date and won. This was a little game in our team but really enjoyable.

Then if it snowed in the city it is even better on the mountains ! 

The ski resort CIAO open on the 11th.

If you want to enjoy walking in the winter landscape why not going there for one day and use the lift and gondola to get on the best spot ?

Until the 31th of December, one day ticket is only 1,000 yen per person. And if we get lucky the snow may fall again soon ! Then get your gear ready to ride on the white carpet !

Even if you never ski before you will certainly enjoy trying this outdoor sport !
