I wanted to see the cherry blossoms along the Ooka River in my hometown of Yokohama. While the weather has been bad, the sun came out from around noon on this day, and the weather became a sunny day for cherry blossom viewing. IN THE RIVER, THERE WERE MANY PEOPLE ENJOYING SUP WHILE WATCHING THE CHERRY BLOSSOMS IN FULL BLOOM.

I got up early in the morning to take pictures of the Okame cherry blossoms, which bloom early. Since it was in the morning, there were not many people, so I was able to take a quiet walk. In the meantime, this is one of the photos of two women who were also taking a walk. The two of them were pointing at the cherry blossoms and taking a walk while chatting, and I think it was a very warm one like spring.

[Important] Pay attention to the Akasawa Natural Recreation Forest route guidance on Google Maps! When you come to the Akasawa Natural Recreation Forest, if you use Google Maps on your smartphone or other device to navigate, the route from Agematsu Station to the Akasawa Natural Recreation Forest will guide you to the following red route (via the Takakura and Tai areas) from around July 2021. This road is very narrow from the middle, and it is not recommended for general vehicles to pass because it is partly unpaved. Use the fully paved road (via Yakisasa area) via Prefectural Road 473. As of September 2022, we have generally started to guide you on Prefectural Road 473, but the guide route may change when you stop at another stop or make a mistake at the branch. Use other map apps as an alternative. When I checked Yahoo! Maps, I was guided by the correct route. When coming to the Akasawa Natural Recreation Forest, please pay attention to the above route. Thank you for your understanding.
