In Towada City, Aomori Prefecture, this is a Yabusame tournament held only by female jockeys around the time the cherry blossoms are in bloom. Last year, it was canceled due to the influence of the new coronavirus, but this year it was held with corona countermeasures. The cherry blossom front reaches the northern tip of Honshu around mid-April. The Yabusame Tournament, in which petting children in glossy Japanese attire unfold, heralds the arrival of spring in this area along with the cherry blossom front.

Spring has finally arrived in Hokkaido. In the middle is one of the wild plants, "Butterbur Rose", and the purple flowers around it are "Crocus". The cherry blossoms are just around the corner, but they're producing enough spring ☺️.

Take a road trip from Kanto to Kansai... When I went to Osaka Castle, the cherry blossoms were in full bloom.

When my eldest daughter entered elementary school, my best friend asked me to take a family photo. A cute eldest daughter and an eldest son who has not yet taken off diapers. Both of them were playing cheerfully.

It is one of the three best gardens in Japan. I am impressed by the large grounds, the garden, not even a single garbage, and no weeds. I am fascinated by the cherry blossom blizzard.

It is Himeji Castle in the early morning. I was impressed by the beauty of the moat. The photo spot of the Japanese ship was taught to us by a local grandfather during the shooting. I am grateful.

Taken from the bay window of the school. I could see it right next to it, so I was able to see the cherry blossoms. Phew
