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.

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, the weather forecast at this time of the year tells not only the temperature and weather, but also the cherry blossoms. Hanami, a traditional Japanese event, began 1,300 years ago and is popular among foreign tourists. In this issue, we will introduce the etiquette of Hanami. 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 plants. When eating, do not place a sheet at the base of the cherry tree. The base of the cherry tree is where it breathes. Please place the sheet away from it. Also, do not break the branches of cherry trees just because of their beautiful blossoms. Cherry blossoms are a plant that easily decomposes. You may also have to pay a fine for "damage to property" if you break a cherry blossom branch. Please be careful. 2 Rules of the park During the holidays at this time of year, the number of people viewing cherry blossoms in the park increases greatly. Some of them are also lit up at night, making them popular date spots. Each park has different rules, so be sure to check the park's rules before going hanami. For example, some parks prohibit the bringing of alcoholic beverages, while others do not allow the use of fire. Also, be sure to take your trash home with you and clean up properly before you finish your hanami. Even though it is spring, the nights can get very cold, so be sure to take warm clothing. 3 Cherry blossom motif goods Cherry blossom viewing is not limited to parks. During this season, you can see many cherry blossom-inspired decorations in the city and in stores. At cafes, you can enjoy cherry blossom latte art and pink-colored cakes. At general stores, you can find products with pictures of cherry blossoms. Since they are only available during this season, they are popular as souvenirs. Please 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!

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!

The sight of the mountains dyed pink with drooping cherry blossoms in full bloom is a masterpiece.
After Corona, I want to take off my mask and breathe in the fresh mountain air as much as possible.

In Towada City, Aomori Prefecture, this is a Yabusame tournament held only by female jockeys around the time the cherry blossoms are in bloom. Female jockeys dressed in glossy kimono carry bows, ride on horses of Japan traditional lineage, and fly quickly through three targets while frying dust. Originally, Yabusame is an event performed only by men as a Shinto ritual, but in the modern era of the 21st century, the gender difference between men and women has been abolished, and the ancient martial arts and equestrian traditions Japan that have been handed down from ancient times have been adopted and passed on to the future, and the world fascinated by the glossy Japanese costume caress is worth visiting this land and seeing.
