On this day(March 9th), I happened to take annual leave, and then my wife wanted to go, so we suddenly decided to go to Tsuruhashi Korean Town for lunch.

Since it was open at 8 o'clock, I left around 5:30 and arrived at 7:55, but the first parking lot was already full and I was guided to the second parking lot, which was a little far away. The lift ticket office and ski rental area are also crowded, and we have to line up for more than 40 minutes for ski rental (in our case, only children's boots are rented). It was really vacant in February last year due to the influence of the corona, but this time it was more crowded than exp
