2026 - 2026 Cherry Blossom Forecast
Cherry blossoms can be viewed virtually everywhere in Japan, but the
secret of catching them at full bloom is surfing the cherry blossom
front, as it progresses from southwest to northeast across the
archipelago, as seen in the map below.
The Japan Meteorological Corporation (JMC) released its 6th cherry
blossom prediction on Feb. 26, 2026, providing updated blooming dates
for approximately 1,000 viewing locations across Japan. Due to
warmer-than-expected temperatures throughout February, this forecast
shows cherry blossoms arriving earlier than previously predicted across
most of Japan.
This year in Tokyo the cherry blossoms are expected to begin opening up
on Mar. 18, 6 days earlier than average, with full bloom expected 8
days
later on Mar. 26 (5 days earlier than usual). Can't wait!

Authorities in Fujiyoshida in central Japan have canceled a spring
cherry blossom festival at a popular Mt. Fuji viewing spot, citing
residents’ concerns over congestion and nuisance behavior.
The city in Yamanashi Prefecture on Tuesday announced its decision not
to go ahead with the Arakurayama Sengen Park Cherry Blossom Festival,
an event it has held for the past 10 years, attracting around 200,000
visitors each year with its views to Mt. Fuji.
With the weak Japanese yen and social media content driving a rapid
increase in the number of foreign tourists visiting Japan, however, the
city is struggling to handle an influx of more than 10,000 visitors a
day during the peak cherry blossom season.
Incidents of bad behavior, the city said, have become commonplace and
pose a threat to the livelihoods of residents... (continued at

A 20-year-old Chinese student who ignored a winter climbing ban on Mt.
Fuji had to be rescued by police after injuring himself, sparking
debate in Japan about charging for such rescues.
The student, enrolled at a vocational school in Shinjuku, Tokyo,
illegally ascended the mountain via the Fujinomiya trail on January 18.
While descending, he fell and fractured his right leg at the eighth
station, prompting an emergency call at midday.
Shizuoka prefectural police dispatched a 10-11 member mountain rescue
team. They located him around 8:30 pm in severe weather with strong
winds and poor visibility. The team sheltered overnight in a mountain
facility before carrying him down on foot the next day... (continued at

processed foods, refined carbohydrates, and added sugars. This updated
pyramid aims to guide Americans towards healthier eating habits based
on modern nutrition science.

5, 2026 - US cuts the number of vaccines recommended for every child
Federal health officials today outlined sweeping changes to the U.S.
childhood immunization schedule.
The changes create a new framework that keeps all currently recommended
vaccines available and fully covered while moving several vaccines into
a category designed to emphasize shared decision-making between
families and clinicians.
The new recommendations reduce the number of vaccines recommended as
routine for all children to 11 from 17, a move The New York Times
called a “seismic shift” in federal vaccine policy.
Mary Holland, CEO of Children’s Health Defense, called the change “the
most significant change in U.S. vaccination policy in recent history.”
HHS said the change follows a directive from President Donald Trump,
who issued a presidential memorandum on Dec. 5, 2025, instructing the
agency and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to
review whether other developed nations protect children more
effectively.
After what HHS described as a “comprehensive, evidence-based
assessment,” the department concluded that the U.S. recommends more
routine childhood vaccine doses than peer countries without achieving
higher vaccination rates or greater public trust...

2025 - Don't ever stop working!
"Most of us spend our entire lives chasing the dream of having enough.
What happens when that goal is met? Do we stop or is there reason to
keep working anyway? If you have more to look back on than you have to
look forward to, then you're telling your mind, body, and spirit to
shut down... that they're no longer needed. We see this a lot after
people retire when they immediately suffer health problems or even die.
Don't ever stop working. If you stop the flow of money through you,
your life will deteriorate."

2025 - CDC Vaccine Panel Votes to End Universal Hepatitis B Vaccine for
All Newborns
Advisers to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) this
morning voted to end a decades-long recommendation that all infants
born in the U.S. receive the hepatitis B vaccine within 12-24 hours of
birth.
Instead, for babies born to mothers who test negative for hepatitis B,
the committee recommends that families determine whether to give their
child the Hep B shot at birth through individual decision-making with
their physician.
For infants who don’t get the birth dose, the committee recommends the
initial dose of the vaccine not be administered until infants are at
least 2 months old. For mothers whose hepatitis B status is unknown or
who test positive, the birth dose recommendation remains in place.
Dr. Monique Yohanan, senior fellow for health policy at Independent Women,
told The Defender there was never “a good science-based reason to have
a universal vaccination that 99% of babies born in the United States
are not at any risk,” and that the vote was “good news for babies.”
The Fall Colors (紅葉) season in Tokyo has finally arrived in earnest.
This kind of beautiful scenery brings a lot of childhood joy to folks
like myself, even after 3 decades here, as there is nothing even close
to this in my home state of Texas. Japan is indeed one beautiful
country. Our Creator has a pretty magnificent paintbrush, doesn't he?

2025 - 79% of Studies on Childhood Vaccination and Autism Found a Link
Integrating over 300 scientific
communications across epidemiologic, clinical, and mechanistic
domains, the landmark McCullough
Foundation Report, Determinants of Autism
Spectrum Disorder, has delivered the most authoritative,
comprehensive, and extensively referenced synthesis to date on risk
factors for autism.
Among 136 studies evaluating
childhood vaccines or their components, 107 (79%) found associations between
immunization and autism or other neurodevelopmental disorders, and 12
studies comparing routinely immunized versus completely unvaccinated
children or young adults consistently demonstrated superior overall
health outcomes among the unvaccinated, including significantly
lower risks of chronic medical problems and neuropsychiatric disorders
such as ASD.
The report concludes that autism arises from the intersection of
genetic, environmental, and iatrogenic factors — but notably combination routine childhood vaccination
early in life constitutes the most significant modifiable risk factor,
supported by convergent clinical, mechanistic, and epidemiologic
evidence.
As autism prevalence climbs to more
than 1 in 31 U.S. children, understanding and mitigating
preventable contributors has become a pressing public health priority.

2025 - 56% suspect Covid-19 vaccines caused deaths and one-in-four know
one of the victims
More than half of likely US voters say they believe Covid-19 vaccines
may have caused a significant number of unexplained deaths.
According to a new Rasmussen Reports poll, 56% say it’s at least
somewhat likely that vaccine side effects led to such deaths, including
32% who say it’s very likely and nearly one-in-four say someone they
know could be among the victims. Thirty-five percent (35%) say it’s not
likely, including 17% who believe it’s not at all likely. These numbers
are nearly unchanged from a year ago.
The survey also shows strong support for Health and Human Services
Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has been openly critical of the
government’s handling of the pandemic. Half (50%) of voters say
government health officials deserve criticism for their Covid-19
response, while 37% say Kennedy’s criticism is unfair.
Forty-two percent (42%) say some Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) employees involved in the government’s Covid-19
response should be fired. That view rises to 71% among those who
believe vaccine side effects likely caused deaths...
In 2016, journalist Del Bigtree issued a challenge to the head of
infectious disease at one of the most prestigious medical institutions
in the world: conduct the most thorough vaxxed vs. unvaxxed study that
has ever been done. The expert took up the challenge and ran the study
to prove Del wrong. That study never saw the light of day... until now.

Japan’s Shizuoka Govt Sees Positive Results from Mt. Fuji Restriction Measures
Japan’s Shizuoka Govt Sees Positive Results from Mt. Fuji Restriction Measures; Aims to Continue to Refine MeasuresShizuoka Prefecture made entrance fees mandatory and imposed nighttime climbing restrictions on three of Mt. Fuji’s trails — Fujinomiya, Subashiri, and Gotemba — for the first time last climbing season, aligning with the measures introduced by Yamanashi Prefecture for the Yoshida trail the year before...
...According to a report by the Shizuoka Prefectural Police, the number of hikers involved in accidents on the Shizuoka Prefecture side of Mt. Fuji during the climbing season (July 10 to Sept. 10) was 36, a decrease of 28 from the previous year, while the number of fatalities and missing persons was 0, compared to 6 during the last season. The police thinks the awareness of climbing safety may have increased due to the restrictions and the requirement to study the rules in advance...
Polish Man Falls on Mount Fuji During Off-Season Climb
A 31-year-old Polish man was rescued by helicopter after falling near the New 7th Station of Mount Fuji at around 11 a.m. on April 6th during an off-season solo climb, after calling emergency services to report that he believed he had broken his leg. According to police, the caller was the injured man himself, who had been climbing alone and is believed to have fallen approximately 200 meters.
Rescue teams, including the Shizuoka Prefectural Police mountain rescue unit, were dispatched to the scene, and the man was airlifted by a prefectural disaster prevention helicopter about two hours after the call. Although the man sustained injuries, he remained conscious and is not in life-threatening condition.

Also, new this year at the 5th station there will be a check of climbers' necessary equipment (warm clothing, 2-piece rain gear, and appropriate hiking boots), and only those who have all 3 of these items will be allowed to pass through the gate.

Foreign climbers in critical condition after 400m fall in climbing closed Mt. Fuji
Two foreign nationals fell down 400 meters and were found in critical condition after they went climbing Mt. Fuji that was closed for the winter season. Police received a report around 3 PM on March 9 that the 2 appeared to have fallen and gone missing near the new 7th station of Mount Fuji in Shizuoka Prefecture.
A rescue team of 25 police and fire personnel launched a search operation. The search was hampered by poor weather, but rescuers were able to find them around 10:40 PM. A 23-year-old Swedish woman was in critical condition, and a 51-year-old New Zealand man was reported to have suffered serious injuries.
Mount Fuji is currently closed for the winter season, and the hiking trails are blocked off.

Mt. Fuji’s Shizuoka-side Subashiri Trail Mulls July 1 Opening to Align with Yamanashi Side
The opening date for the Subashiri Trail on Mt. Fuji is being coordinated for July 1st, aligning with the Yamanashi side, Shizuoka Gov. Yasutomo Suzuki revealed during the prefectural assembly plenary session on Friday.
While Yamanashi has set its Yoshida Trail opening date as July 1, Shizuoka had maintained the July 10 date due to lingering snow on all trails — Subashiri, Gotemba, Fujinomiya. However, since the Subashiri Trail, accessed from Oyama Town, converges with the Yoshida Trail near the 8th station, local stakeholders had been calling for a unified opening date.
Regarding the other 2 trails, Suzuki said, “Given the differing geographical conditions and weather patterns, it is difficult to achieve uniformity across all trails.”
He also indicated consideration of reduced or waived entrance fees for kindergarten and nursery school nature observation events, as well as educational activities for elementary, junior high, and high school students. “We will explore how to create opportunities for children, who represent the next generation, to experience the value of World Heritage site Mt. Fuji more often,” said Suzuki.

Mt. Fuji Climber Dies After Slipping, Falling; Police Responded to Call Stating ‘I Can’t Move’
A 44-year-old mountain climber died after slipping and falling while descending from Mt. Fuji on Monday, Shizuoka prefectural police said. According to the police, the man made an emergency call to the local fire department and asked to be rescued, saying, “My right leg hurts so much I can’t move.”
The police’s mountain rescue team searched for the man in response to the call and found him in cardiac arrest. He was taken to a hospital but later confirmed dead. The man began climbing Mt. Fuji with two friends on Sunday. He slipped and fell at 11 a.m. on Monday. The rescue team found him about 200 meters southeast of Goraiko-sanso mountain lodge at the seventh station at 4:15 p.m.
