Went to Asukayama Park near Oji Station yesterday. I've passed by the area many times and seen the gondola leading to the top but never knew what was up there until now. It's a really big park dedicated to Shibusawa Eiichi, known as the father of capitalism in Japan. The park has a bunch of monuments and cultural properties to check out so I managed to take a lot of photos and I'll be uploading them over the next few days. I chose a good day to go it seems too, as there was an event going on. It involved some traditional dances I think from the Oji area, and it involved some sort of sash that kind of reminded me of a kimono obi, but I'm not sure exactly what it is. They had a taiko drum as well but it seems I didn't make it in time to watch them playing, I only heard it in the distance when I was walking to the park. I thought it was really cool seeing all the different monuments though. Many of them were several hundred years old and the Japanese on them was also and older form, so it was hard for me to read a lot of them lol. It was a really enjoyable experience though, so I'll upload some more photos tomorrow!

この地で生まれ育って半世紀以上で初めて見た琵琶湖南湖でのしぶき氷です。北湖は亜寒帯に属すので冬の風物詩だそうですが、温帯に属す南湖ではまず起こらない現象で、たまたま車で通りかかった時に湖岸に延々とビニール袋が漂着したのかと思いましたが近づいたら氷なので、珍しくて写真撮りました。前日のTVニュースで見たらしいカメラマン達が全国から早朝の条件が良い時間を狙うために、クソ寒い湖岸に無数にテント張ってましたね。対岸中央の山は世界遺産延暦寺がある比叡山です。
