The last few days have been warm. What's going on with Lysichiton camtschatcensis? I was curious and went to the swamp along Poppo's road on the Old Karikachi Line track. It seems that it was still a little early, but there were pretty flowers blooming nearby. Soon, Lysichiton camtschatcensis will also be there.

Kiyomizu-dera Temple in Kyoto. It is a very good place where you can feel the four seasons. It was blooming very beautifully.

Despite being adjacent to Tokyo, Saitama prefecture is often overlooked by tourists. However, this prefecture has a lot to offer with its mesmerizing natural beauty. Currently, Kita Asaba Sakura Zutsumi is gaining attention, thanks to photographers who have captured its beauty. I visited this place last year, but this year, I witnessed the astonishing view of the pink sakura rows against the backdrop of the snow-capped mountains.

This is a rice planting experience where you plant rice seedlings by hand on Aragi Island. The children and their parents all seem to have learned about the difficulties of farm work.

[How to collect sap and make chiffon cake] It was held as a winter nature observation event Shirakaba sap collection project. Participants gathered in front of the community center. Hop on the bus and head to the collection point. "Do you know what sap is?" In response to the question, one of the elementary school students explained in detail Whoa! There were cheers. When you get to the point, you will learn how to make a hole to collect sap. An outdoor course on the tools used for collecting has begun. The last few days, it was a little cold. I couldn't get any sap. Using the sap collected last year We also made chiffon cakes. Mix the dough or pour it into a mold. Both children and adults work with lively expressions. The baked chiffon cake is fluffy I finished eating in no time. Chiffon cakes are made at events in the garden of Yume Eup Forest. It is sold irregularly, so if you see it Please buy it! #Nishiokoppe Village #Shirakaba Sap #Kiiku #Chiffon Cake #Garden of Yume Eup Forest

Cherry blossoms 🌸 at night on a starry night This is Edohiganzakura in Yorii, Saitama Prefecture. It was a 400-year-old Edohigan cherry tree and was crowded with many people! Even when I took pictures with the stars at night, there were a lot of photographers.

I landed at Takamatsu Airport to see the cherry blossoms in Kagawa, but unfortunately the cherry blossoms in Kagawa Prefecture had not yet bloomed, so I rented a car and went to Kochi, which was already in full bloom. Niyodogawa Town is famous for its Niyodo Blue, but the cherry blossoms at the 500-year-old Gourd Sakura Park in Niyodogawa Town are spectacular. The cherry blossoms illuminated by the moon at night were divinely beautiful.

Kochi Castle, located in Kochi, is one of the 12 surviving castle towers built in the Edo period. The castle tower is usually lit up at night and you can enjoy it, but in spring, the cherry blossoms in full bloom color Kochi Castle, making it even more attractive. After sightseeing in various parts of Kochi Prefecture, I visited at night in an exhausted state, but the performance of the illuminated Kochi Castle and the cherry blossoms was so beautiful that the fatigue was blown away.

For the rehearsal of the birch sap water collection experience that will start the day after tomorrow, we will do a final check of the flow at the site. I was worried because it snowed the day before yesterday, but thanks to the warmth today, I was relieved by the sap that oozes out when I make a hole in the birch. It seems that it was still a little early for full-scale collection, and the sap that came out was about 50 ml in one hour. From now until the end of the week, the daytime temperature is forecast to exceed 10 degrees Celsius, so I think the amount of collection will stabilize. The birch sap water collection experience will be held from the 5th Friday to the 14th Sunday of this month, and reservations can be made even the day before. If you are interested, please join us. In addition, those who are only interested in visiting are welcome. * If there are no participants, there will be no event, so please contact the tourism association in advance. For details, please contact the Shintoku Tourism Association [0156-64-0522].

I felt a little spring breeze, but it was only faint, and I could only hear the sound of rain, but it was starting to rain and I didn't feel much rain. The sound of my breath caught the attention of my dog Sachi, 5 years old. After the shooting, I went back to my house. Changes in Camellia japonica I felt it.
