[Isehara Flower Report] 2026.03.16
Here is today’s update on flower blooms around Isehara City.

The Okame cherry trees along Ōyama New Road have passed their peak viewing period.
Many petals have fallen, leaving calyxes so the overall appearance is a soft, pale pink.
The season is gradually shifting into spring.

These are Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine’s Kawazu-zakura cherry trees along the Shingashi River, behind the shrine.

I attended the monthly ceremony at Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine today.
The kawazu-zakura along the Shingashi River were in full bloom.
Homarezakura had not yet blossomed.

A spring day in Sakado City, Saitama Prefecture, with Angyo Kan-zakura blooming in profusion. I captured a moment of my daughter laughing happily beneath rows of cherry trees in full bloom. Along with the soft spring light, the scene expresses the gentle passage of spring in Japan.

It's the moment in a spring field blanketed with rapeseed flowers when my daughter, caught up in the joy, tossed her hat into the sky with a gleeful laugh.
Wrapped in warm breezes and sunlight, she celebrates the arrival of spring in Japan with her whole being.
