At the Japan garden of Tsurumi Ryokuchi Park. While pine trees and drooping cherry blossoms are vivid to the eye, a heron is relaxing. It is also said that good luck comes when you meet this bird. I wish you all the best of luck.

It is a temple of Binchuku in Soja City, Okayama Prefecture. It is the peach blossoms that compete with the cherry blossoms. This area is also a peach-producing area and a place related to Momotaro. When I see people strolling around while looking at the flowers in full bloom, it seems like a peachy town.

Cherry blossoms in Nagai Park, home of the soccer team Cerezo Osaka, Higashisumiyoshi-ku, Osaka City. There are many cherry trees in the large park, and spring is as beautiful as if you were in a dream.

It is Daigo cherry blossoms in Maniwa City, Okayama Prefecture. It is said that the name comes from Emperor Go-Daigo's visit to this area and said, "It's a splendid cherry blossom." It happened about 690 years ago. Did the Milky Way hear the words of Emperor Go-Daigo? How did Emperor Go-Daigo feel when he saw the cherry blossoms? You have to wait until midnight for the Milky Way in summer and cherry blossoms in spring to perform together. The waiting time was also a fun time to think.

Photographing cherry blossoms along the Gojo River flowing through Aichi Prefecture. The shooting day was very warm and mild, and the weather was blessed. You can only enjoy the cherry blossoms in full bloom for a few weeks throughout the year. I am fascinated by the sight of cherry blossoms that maximize their charm in a limited time. In order to express this strength, I took this photo by looking up at the sun from the backlit side. Her figure is like a woman who is both strong and beautiful. I also want to aim to be like cherry blossoms and cherish every day and spend my strength.

Cherry blossoms and Mt. Fuji The cherry blossoms at the foot of Mt. Fuji are about to bloom, so I'm looking forward to it. I took this photo in the park of Chureito in Fujiyoshida City, Yamanashi Prefecture.

Higashisumiyoshi-ku, Osaka, along the Imagawa River. It is a beautiful place where beautiful flowers bloom throughout the four seasons. In addition, Japanese items such as Shigaraki tanuki figurines and tiles are placed, making it a picturesque photo spot. In spring, the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, and there are also weeping cherry blossoms and white cherry blossoms, so you can fully feel the four seasons of Japan while strolling. It's also nice to be able to enjoy it for free.

[English/Japanese] The day before yesterday, the Japan Meteorological Agency announced that cherry blossoms had bloomed in Tokyo. In Japan, this time of year’s weather forecast reports not only temperatures and conditions but also the status of the cherry blossoms. Hanami, a traditional Japanese event, began 1,300 years ago and is popular with foreign tourists. In this issue, we introduce hanami etiquette. 1 The star of the show is the cherry blossoms Cherry blossom viewing means eating and drinking under the cherry trees. Cherry trees are very delicate. When you eat, do not place a sheet at the base of the cherry tree. The base of the tree is where it breathes, so place your sheet away from it. Also, do not break cherry branches just because their blossoms are beautiful. Cherry blossoms decompose easily. If you break a branch, you may have to pay a fine for damage to property. Please be careful. 2 Park rules During holidays at this time of year, the number of people viewing cherry blossoms in parks increases greatly. Some parks are lit up at night and become popular date spots. Each park has different rules, so check the park rules before going to hanami. For example, some parks prohibit bringing alcoholic beverages, while others forbid the use of fire. Also, be sure to take your trash home and clean up properly before you finish your hanami. Even though it is spring, nights can get very cold, so bring warm clothing. 3 Cherry blossom motif goods Hanami is not limited to parks. During this season, you will see many cherry blossom–inspired decorations around the city and in stores. At cafes, you can enjoy cherry blossom latte art and pink cakes. At general stores, you can find products printed with cherry blossoms. Because they are available only during this season, they are popular as souvenirs. Look for them! Hachioji, where our school is located, has many famous cherry blossom viewing spots. Some parks are lit up at night, so be sure to visit them!

"Carrier of Spring" Location: Flower Expo Memorial Park Tsurumi Ryokuchi Date Taken: 2022/3/17 Weather: Cloudy I caught 📸 a whitetail that stays in the early-blooming Okamezakura We tend to look at the cherry blossoms around us and the whitetails themselves, but if you look closely, you will find a lot of pollen on the beaks of the whitetails. I realized that by sucking the nectar of flowers and carrying pollen, we are able to enjoy spring.

Photographed 🌸 in a row of cherry blossom trees near the sand dunes When I was shooting, a bee attracted by the beautiful pink petals came to play, so I thought it was a chance and released 🐝 the shutter ⋆︎*゚∗

There is also a park children's playground in Ishigaya Park in Akashi City, Hyogo Prefecture, which families visit every year with their own lunch boxes, and it is the best lunch box to eat while being enveloped in the scent of plums.

The sunflowers I found on the road at night were cool, so I took a picture!

In Shiga Prefecture, I went to see hydrangea on a rainy day! This year, the best time to see it is long and you can enjoy it.

I've never seen a cherry blossom more beautiful than this. I hope that the day will return when everyone can see the cherry blossoms with a smile without worrying about anything.

A collaboration of cherry blossoms and snow photographed in Sugamo last year. It's so beautiful that it's hard to forget.

A dream-like photo taken by Fushimi Jugokufune that condenses the beauty and kindness of spring. When Corona is over, I want to go with my family and friends again!

Beautiful view, looks like Mt. Yoshino if I'm not mistaken? Either way, I totally agree. Can't wait for corona to be over so I can finally take my mask off and walk around and smell the fresh air. During the spring when the cherry blossoms were in bloom I was walking on a street with cherry blossoms and took my mask off for a second no one was around and I realized it was the first time I'd had my mask off outside all spring. Smelling the cherry blossoms was amazing, just a full year of wearing a mask and you nearly forget what nature smells like. Hopefully, come spring next year I'll be able to walk outside and smell the cherry blossoms and whatever else is blooming in the area. I'd love to be able to go traveling again just like normal and be able to take in not just the sights and sounds, but the smells as well. Until then, just gotta keep hanging in there! Edit: This is Takami no Sato, not Mt. Yoshino. I was mistaken. They look very similar though!
