A photo of a shimenawa displayed at the entrance. Although not often seen in new houses, many traditional homes still display shimenawa at their entrances to welcome the gods. It's a representative New Year culture.

Before dawn on New Year's Day, the summit sign is bathed in the colors of the morning glow. Despite the fierce wind at 30m/s and the extreme cold of -20°, the summit feels strangely calm.

A photo from the summit of Mount Fuji on New Year's Day. Climbing Mount Fuji to witness the first sunrise from Japan's highest point must have been a special moment. The majestic sign illuminated by the dawn light beautifully captures the achievement of reaching the summit.
