Sky Tree cherry blossoms wrapped in Kawazu cherry blossoms This is the Sky Tree, the world's largest radio tower Representative of Japan From 📸 the Kawazu cherry blossoms that have only two trees directly under the Sky Tree It was currently in full bloom and crowded with many people. I'm 😆 looking forward to seeing more and more Kawazu cherry blossoms→Someiyoshino from now on

Spring in Japan is all about cherry blossoms. Kawazu cherry blossoms bloom earlier than Someiyoshino, signaling that spring is near. The wild bird "Mejiro", which had never been seen before, is coming in search of nectar from Kawazu cherry blossoms. Kawazu cherry blossoms shine in the bright blue sky, and if there is a komejiro, it is "the first in spring". In a world where war is spreading, while looking at the Kawazu cherry blossoms on a calm day, I feel that I am happy to have been born in such a wonderful country.

[Isehara Flower Report] 3.01 Okame cherry blossoms along Oyama Shinmichi are beginning to bloom March starts today. I felt the arrival of spring as graduation ceremonies seemed to be taking place at high schools across Isehara City. Spring news is coming from MtOoyama too♪ Okame cherry trees have been planted along the roughly 3-kilometer stretch of Oyama Shinmichi (bypass), and pink blossoms are beginning to open. The trees at the foot are still young, so their trunks are thin and they seem to bloom earlier. Overall, it feels like flowering is a little early this year due to warm temperatures. They should reach their best viewing next week. Seeing the flowers from the car window makes a drive more enjoyable.

It was filmed in Akabane, and the weather was very good at the time!

When I climbed to the top of Mt. Matsuda, I saw a large panorama overlooking Sagami Bay beyond the contrast between the Kawazu cherry blossoms and rape blossoms.

As we climbed through the sacred air, a wonderful sight awaited us. If you go through this tunnel of autumn leaves, you will find the Saijoji Temple. I prayed for world peace so that this wonderful landscape of autumn would be preserved for the future.

My first time in Tsumagoi Village. It was beautiful and touching.

My first time in Tsumagoi Village. It was beautiful and touching.

This place is often compared to the renowned Tokyo station by many tourists. It used to be the headquarters of the Ministry of Justice but now serves as the Institute of Legal Affairs and the Legal Library. The Meiji period construction was designed by two competent German architects. Despite being damaged in World War II, it was successfully restored. The symmetrical and majestic architecture of the building is simply breathtaking. The European style of the Meiji period is beautifully represented in this structure and looks even more stunning during the rare snowfall in Tokyo. Exploring new places in this bustling city during the snow season is an experience worth having.

Sunflower field 🌻 in Musashimurayama I have been visiting every year lately. I'm looking forward to this year. Who is bigger, the second son or the sunflower?

My mother died, and suddenly my father was alone. I took my father on a trip that I had promised him when he was alive. On the way back, we stopped at the Ibaraki Prefectural History Museum, where the autumn leaves were very beautiful. I wanted to show it to my mother... _

Chun-hsien 🌸 This is Kawazu cherry blossoms from Matsudayama Herb Garden, Kanagawa Prefecture. In Kanagawa Prefecture, it is a very famous place and is crowded with many people. This is the only place where you can see the collaboration between cherry blossoms and rape blossoms! Be sure to 😊 visit

Hakone Shrine, famous as a power spot, has its Torii shrine gate gate on the shore of Lake Ashi. On this day, when the wind was a little strong, Mt. Fuji appeared majestic with the blue sky from the cloudy sky, creating a very solemn atmosphere.

On a chilly spring day, the sight of enjoying marine sports with Mt. Fuji in view is very exciting. I think I'm going to try SUP this year.
