Do you play the game Monopoly?
koharu's family often play the game Monopoly
on Sundays when they are all at home.
(koharu is my granddaughter who is now 10 years old.)
koharu likes the game very much.
koharu is now making her own version of Monopoly.
koharu named the game KOHAPOLY;
koharu ＋ Monopoly = KOHA・POLY.
koharu's family will enjoy the game KOHAPOLY
during the New Year holidays.
Me? Oh, I don't understand the rules of the game at all.
I can not join them, though they want me to.
---------------------------------------
The year will end tomorrow.
May the new year bring you
much joy and happiness
and be a very healthy one for you all.

We had breakfast at a restaurant on the first floor.
The wind was strong.
The white clouds were playing with Mt. Fuji.
When I went back to my room, Mt. Fuji was smiling at me.
At the front of the hotel, I saw the bold outline of
mountains against the beautiful clear sky.
How wonderful to be alive!
We came back to Tokyo by Express Bus for Shinjuku.
Thank you very much for coming with me, M-san!

Walking the long way to the hotel made me tired.
I suggested to her that we stay the night at Hotel Mt.Fuji.
I asked a clerk at the front desk if there was a room
available for the night.
He said, "Welcome, madam, we have a room for you.
It is on the sixth floor."
The room offered a wonderful view of Mt. Fuji.
The room overlooked Lake Yamanakako.
We enjoyed a hot spring bath.

When we took a tea break in a restaurant, I asked a waitress
how far Lake Yamanakako was from there.
She was very kind and showed me how to go to Lake Yamanakako.
We decided to go and see Lake Yamanakako.
We hurried to Kawaguchiko-station.
We had to catch a local bus for Mishima.
After thirty minutes we left the bus at the bus stop
'Entrance to Hotel Mt. Fuji.'
Wow! What a large and calm lake!
"Where is Hotel Mt. Fuji?" I wondered.
I said to her, "Is that white building on the hill Hotel Mt. Fuji?
How about walking to that hotel and taking late lunch there?"
Ms M and I started to go up a gentle slope--gentle
but long, long slope.
After 30 minutes or so, I said, "Here we are!"

I had reserved a room at the Hotel New Fuji in advance--
a room I could enjoy a view of Lake Kawaguchiko and Mt.Fuji.
Our room was on the top floor--7th floor.
How happy I was to enjoy such a beautiful views
from my room!
( at five o'clock in the evening )
( at half past eight in the morning )
We left the hotel at 10 o'clock and walked along Lake Kawaguchiko.
We crossed Kawaguchiko-Ohashi bridge and enjoyed walking
along another side of Lake Kawaguchiko.

Whenever I want to see Mt.Fuji, I hurry to Kawaguchiko-machi.
kawaguchiko-machi is one of my favorite places.
kawaguchiko-machi always brings back to me the memories
of the days 30 years ago when I came here with my daughter
for the first time. I felt greatly encouraged by Mt. Fuji then.
On Dec. 24 Ms M and I went to Kawagucchiko-machi by train.
First Ms M and I went by ropeway to the top of a hill
overlooking Lake Kawaguchiko .
The hill commanded a splendid view of Mt. Fuji too.
The hill is named Kachikachi-yama.
Ms M and I walked to a little higher place,
saw Mt Fuji and ate onigiri there.

Yesterday was the shortest day of the year
--the winter solstice 冬至.
The day will be longer day by day.
Did you take a bath with yuzu ?
Did you eat pumpkin?
No, I did not.
I bought yuzu for my daughter's family.
I remember Mother preparing a bath with yuzu
and a pumpkin dish on the day.
I am invited to koharu's family Christmas party
this evening. How kind of them! Thank you so much.
koharu and her mother are now making a Christmas cake,
I suppose.
It's a fine day today here in Tokyo.
I took a picture of Tamagawa-josui from my room.
Almost all leaves have fallen.
