街を歩くと、どこも正月飾りに溢れていますね。

　サクラカフェ幡ヶ谷の入り口も、門松でお出迎えをしております。

Have you ever watched 'New Year's Decoration' in Japan, at the end of the year??

Today, I'll show you all of them.

そのままサクラカフェのエントランスを入り、玄関に来ると、しめ縄が。商売繁盛を願って。。。

To know the meaning of these decorations, please check this site!)

At the entrance of Sakura Hotel(Cafe), there is a Shinto straw festoon.

It means to pray 'rush of business'.

そしてフロントには、鏡餅が。

And at the front dest, rice cake with bamboo, and Mt. Fuji(new year's sunrise).

「謹賀新年=kinga-shinnen」means,' A Happy New Year'!!

サクラカフェ店内はこのように。

In Sakura Cafe, flowers (with red-and-white colors, means congraturation!) and rice cake.

お正月いっぱい飾った後は、おなじみ、鏡開きの1月11日にお餅を食べるのが楽しみですね。

These decorations are settled until Jan. 11th. And we'll enjoy to eat the rice cake (for sweet red-bean soup, or a toasted rice cake)

Enjoy your stay in Japan, and happy new year!!
