Admin’s Note

After reading this article, I realized that experiencing snow during the New Year is truly special. I’m particularly concerned about how it might affect the Hakone Ekiden, and I hope the athletes can complete the race safely. With the cold wave, it’s also important to be cautious about transportation. I wish everyone a safe time during this season. While snow makes the scenery beautiful, it also brings about complicated feelings when considering its real-life impacts.
