Visited the Shinto Shrine to pray for happines in the New Year.

 It snowed a little during the night, but not so much. I watched Hakone Ekiden Intercollagiate  Marathone Relay race and high school a soccer game. In Hakone Ekiden, the Nippon Sport Science University won the two-day race, and became the champions. In the high school soccer, the game between Asahiawa Industrial High School, the representative of Hokkaido and Shimane Shonan High School ended 1-1 tie, but Asahikawa was defeated in the penalty-kick-shoot-out.
