About this event
The year in Taishi Town begins with the New Year's Day First Climb. Every year, many people head for the summit of Mount Nijo's Medake peak to witness the first sunrise of the year rising from the Nara side. At the event, amazake (sweet fermented rice drink) will be served by the Manyo Asagayu Kai at Umanose, and a raffle hosted by the Taishi Town Athletic Association with prizes such as zodiac lucky charms will be held at the Medake summit. Both are available on a first-come, first-served basis. The event is primarily intended for residents of Taishi Town. The climb itself is not an organized tour, so participants are requested to manage their own safety during the hike. Parking is limited, and there is no lighting on the mountain trails, so please bring your own light source and watch your footing carefully.
