These days are considered the most important holidays for us.  During this time business and schools close for one to two weeks.  It is also a time for people to return to their families which leads to the inevitable backlog of travelers. 

On New Year's eve, bells (Joya No Kane) are rung at the local temples to speed out the old year.

Casual western style clothing is replaced with kimono on New Years day as people go for their first temple or shrine visit of the New Year.
At the temples they pray for health and happiness in the coming year.

Food, of course, is also a big part of Japanese New Year's celebrations.
Osechi-ryori is special dishes eaten on the first three days of the New Year.

Photo is forklift that is used to remove snow.

Its appearance gets rusted a bit but engine is OK!

Therefore we remove engine and reuse or import.

Omicho-Ichiba is a famous local market located in the center of Kanazawa.
It started as a morning market some 400 years back.
In the feudal times, the market served as Kaga domain's food market which later became a public market in 1904.
Since then, it's been popularly known as "Kanazawa's Kitchen" and is always bustling with local residents as well as tourists.

About 170 shops in the market selling a variety of things such as fresh fish, vegetables, meat, side dishes, sweets, daily commodities, flowers and so on.

You won't miss the unique atmosphere of the place created by shop keepers' cheerful and loud shouts flying all around.
Omicho market is also known for its restaurants where you can eat excellent fresh Kaisen-don (seafood rice bowl), Sushi, etc.

 The biggest characteristic of this park is its untouched primitive atmosphere, where we can find the park containing alpine plants on the area formed by volcanic activities on top of the peak.

In recent years it has been equipped with mountain trails and lodging facilities so that people can enjoy climbing Mt. Hakusan easily and safely, and visitors can get a fantastic view of the various alpine plants blooming at the top of the mountain.

 For this reason, the seawater can easily permeate into the sand, which makes sand granules compacted together tightly to form a firm beach and even buses can run on this beach. It makes for a wonderful experience as you enjoy a car-ride on the beach while appreciating the glow of the setting sun!!! 

Chirihama beachside is also popular for shallow seawater bathing, seashell gathering and visitors can also enjoy the special delicacies such as Yaki-sazae (grilled turban seashells) and Yaki Hamaguri (grilled clams) on the beach which doubles the pleasure.

Kanazawa Castle is just across the Ishikawa Bridge from Kanazawa's prime attraction, the Kenrokuen Garden.

Both sites are must-sees on a visit to our place, Kanazawa in Ishikawa Prefecture.

Kanazawa Castle was the seat of power of the local Maeda clan (the Maeda family were the hereditary feudal lords of the Kaga province from 1583).

Kanazawa Castle, itself has had a difficult history.

 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa is situated in the center of Kanazawa city, near Kenroku-en garden and the Ishikawa Prefectural Museum of Art.

Anybody can drop in whenever they want. The Museum is designed as a park where people can gather and meet with one another.

The glass-made circle results in an ambiguous spatial definition, a kind of reversible membrane, through which visitors can sense each other's presence.

The museum pays careful attention to its openness and brightness from the courtyards with sky-lights.

The Museum, in order to meet various needs of visitors, has also a shop and restaurant open to the night.

The aim of the Museum is "casualness", "enjoyment", and "accessibility".

Finally the box was filled with bottle caps and collected.

Please check the website below 
http://ecocap007.com/aboutecocap.html  for more detail information.

The total numbers of bottle caps are 2,960 and those will be vaccines for 3 children.

We will work together and join the Ecocap movement from now on!

'OBON' is one of the most important Japanese traditions.

People believe that their ancestors' spirits come back to their homes to be reunited with their family during 'OBON' and pray for the spirits.

For the reason, 'OBON' is an important family gathering time, and many people return to their hometowns.

We usually have 'OBON' in the middle of August every year.

Please note this when you try to contact with Japan.

'Chaya' is a traditional place of feasts and entertainment, where 'Geisha' (traditional female Japanese entertainers) have been entertaining people by performing dances and playing Japanese traditional musical instruments since the Edo period.

Kanazawa is the second biggest existing Geisha city after Kyoto.

The scrap bonnets are always stocked in our yard.

The bonnets for the huge engine capacity are flat and big, so we can load neatly.

For example, you can see the bonnet on the engine or various parts in the photo. The scrap bonnets keep them stable.

Also we reuse rear seat for the cushion to avoid damage or fill in the space.

KENROKU-EN, one of the three most beautiful gardens in Japan, means a garden combining the six attributes of a perfect garden.

As a strolling?style landscape garden, it incorporates fancy designs in every corner, achieving peerless scenery in each season.

KAIHO SANGYO., CO. LTD is based on Kanazawa in Japan.

So let me introduce our city 'Kanazawa' today.

'Kanazawa' is called 'Little Kyoto' I think many people have heard 'Kyoto'.

Kyoto is the big city that people can feel the Japanese traditional culture.

For example, there are many famous Japanese temples such as Kiyomizu temple.

　 Kanazawa is not big city in Japan but people can feel the Japanese traditional culture.

There are many beautiful places where you can feel 'JAPAN'!!!

Next time, I will introduce 'KENROKUEN', famous and beautiful Japanese park.

See you.
