The annual Yoshiyaki that brings spring to Lake Biwa was held in Higashiomi City, Shiga Prefecture.
Yakimono is a gramineous sardine that is found all over the lake, dried and then grilled. It is done in.
On the 13th, at Lake Iba-naiko in Higashi-Omi City, which is connected to Lake Biwa, 10 local residents' associations came out and lit a phragmites auspicus cut over 3 hectares with a gas burner last month.
This year, due to the heavy snowfall from the end of last year, the water level of the lake became high and the drying of the pragmites was delayed. It was burning while it was standing.
Ms. Tetsuro Uki of the Iba no Sato Lake Creation Council said, "I am doing this to improve the water quality of Lake Biwa, but this year's Yoshi was moist due to heavy snow, so it was difficult to catch fire. I was talking.
The new shoots of Phragmites auspicus will start to grow all at once from around April when the temperature starts to rise.
