Winter events in SHONAN 2018 – 2019

Finally, the last end of the year that we get to spend in the Heisei era is approaching rapidly. Most people think of summer when they think of SHONAN but in reality, there are illumination events, floating shrine events, Sagicho festival, February wakame(seaweed) harvesting and many other happenings that take place in SHONAN during the winter period. Make sure not to miss out on all the fun that SHONAN has to offer in the winter as well!
