[Yurikamome] April 7, 2011 08:30

I see ... If you walk early in the morning, you can see quite a few scenery and stores that you couldn't see before.

You can imagine this neighborhood that is closer to the Nihonbashi neighborhood seen in the crowd.

Ginza Sakura-dori St.

[Silver] April 6, 2011 08:30

 Introduction of Sakura-dori St. in Chuo-ku, today is Ginza 1-chome, the whole north side of Kochi.

Introducing "Ginza Sakura-dori St.", which extends along the expressway to Kyobashi police box.

This street seems to be more in Yae-zakura than in Yoshino cherry tree.

Cherry blossoms can be enjoyed from early to mid-April every year.

 The order to visit Sakura-dori St. is weeping cherry tree in Nihonbashi, Edo Sakura-dori St. and Nihonbashi Sakura-dori St.

I think Ginza Sakura-dori St. is good on another day. Please enjoy it. 

 

 

Weeping cherry blossoms in full bloom that decorate the shrine of Tsukuda and Sumiyoshi

[Dandy Pine] April 5, 2011 13:30

In the midst of the bright spring sunshine, the water surface of the Sumida River shines brilliantly, and the row of cherry blossom trees on the riverbank shows a light color. Here, the row of cherry blossom trees on the banks of Tsukuda Park in Ishikawajima is still blooming for three minutes, but within a few days, the world of spring full of flowers, reminiscent of the clouds of flowers will make us enjoy.


Here are some of the spring scenery I found on the island of Tsukuda. There is no famous cherry blossom spot on the island of Tsukuda, but on the grounds of Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine, the guardian of Tsukuda, the stunning "weeping cherry tree" is now in full bloom to enjoy spring.
The grounds, which are sparse for visitors, have a quiet appearance isolated from the hustle and bustle of the city, and the beautiful appearance of weeping cherry tree swaying in the river breeze of the Sumida River, is exceptional.

In the cherry blossom season we visit every year, we have accepted the big pageant of spring created by nature as a proof of the changing seasons without hesitation. However, nature sometimes gives us unimaginable harsh trials. This year's cherry blossoms don't feel like the "nature" that caused the Great East Japan Earthquake gave us a gift to the Japanese to destroy the sins.
