Spring in Japan is coming: 5 reasons to be excited for 2024 ✨ (while on a snowy Kanazawa bike ride!)

Cycling in Japan can be challenging during the west coast’s snowy winters! Today I’m riding through Kanazawa (金沢), navigating melting snow, and sharing five features of the spring season that I’m most looking forward to in 2024.
Did you know there's a word in Japanese to describe the things that evoke memories and nostalgia for a particular season? These can be feelings, scents, or items that bring anticipation for the seasonal change - called "fuubutsushi" 風物詩 (ふうぶつし).
Now that Setsubun has come and gone, it’s technically “spring” here - and I’m so excited!
