It's cold every day here in Japan. It feels like this year is a little bit colder than usual.
We're planning to vist Zao in Yamagata this weekend, with my wife's parents. Zao is famous for the Jyuhyo. The Jyuhyo means ice coating on the trees. I hope this weekend is fine weather. I think we could enjoy Jyuhyo, hot springs and skiing.
