Admin’s Note

The forecast for heavy snowfall on the Sea of Japan side is particularly concerning due to its potential impact on transportation. It’s important to ensure that we receive information that helps us stay safe, especially from a child’s perspective, like Chako’s. Additionally, we need to prepare for the cold and the snow. I recommend being very cautious when going out. Driving or walking on snow-covered roads can be dangerous, so it’s wise to stay updated with the latest information as we go about our activities.
