From Thursday, March 1st

-- Mizuki Yayoi,

The number of warm days is increasing,
The mountain stream of Yukawa also seems to have slowed down somewhat.

It will be a little further in Karuizawa, but
The plants are overgrown;
The cherry blossoms are starting to bloom, and I've been looking forward to March with all my heart!
With the arrival of the first days of spring, such as the Doll's Festival and Keisei, the mood immediately shifts to spring.

Lately, as soon as I can see the soil, pheasants have appeared.
In the pond where the ice has melted, frogs come to lay eggs,
The birds aiming for it started the next stage.
Winter has ended, and each activity has begun.



Now, the curling competition attracted attention at the Olympics.
The men's national team, who excited us with their best performances day after day, returned to Karuizawa.
All eyes will be on their future activities together with the women's national team.
``I'd like to try it a little bit.'' Curling...
This winter, the ice park's "curling program" is very popular.
Anyone can get started here!

From the basics of getting on the ice, with one hour of guidance from an instructor.
There will be a lecture on how to throw a stone, how to fall, etc., and at the end there will be a menu where you can play a game.
Once you receive this, you can rent the seat as an individual or group.
You can enjoy sports in a warmer environment than in winter outdoor competitions.
It's not too late, if you're interested, please come along.

If you open a map of Karuizawa, it's right in the middle and has great access to anywhere. After having lots of fun, refresh yourself in the artificial hot spring jet bath that is available 24 hours a day. For dinner, you'll be satisfied with the owner's proud European-style home cooking. This is a pension run by a mom and an owner who loves sports. In particular, we often go out to play golf together. In the winter, I also go out to watch ice hockey and curling games.
