Yesterday, there was an event entitled "First Laughter with Sumo Jinku Mandan and Children's Songs".
I took my annual paid leave and went to the venue, Kawagiri no Yu, in Shioya-cho, Shioya-gun.
The venue was filled to capacity with more than 40 people, and as a newcomer myself, I participated as a matchmaker for master Tomeo Mankin and his senior students.

During the 4 hours including karaoke time, I was able to enjoy the free-flowing hot springs overlooking the Kinugawa River.
Also, there were many elderly people and women, so there were a few smokers, although there were ashtrays on each table.
