Happy Chinese New Year

Dear Poliku friends,

I wish you all Happy Chinese New Year.

We went to "Karuizawa Nature Hot Spring" during Chinese New Year (16 Feb ~ 18 Feb). Karuizawa is in Guma Prefecture. It is north of tokyo. As you can see from the pictures, this area is full of snow. In the afternoon the temperature is around -5℃. My son likes to make a snowman, however he couldn't make it. Because he couldn't touch the snow without his gloves.

I took this picture in the early of the morning of the first day of the chinese calender. This picture was taken from the 7th floor of the Karuizawa 1130 Hotel that we had stay. The air is very fresh. The water from the moutain is very good. This area is famous for ski and snowboard.
