It is a "Hinamatsuri" event in Hagi City, Yamaguchi Prefecture. At the former Yamamura family residence in the Hamasaki Denken district, a checkered doll called "Hoko-san" was also on display. "Hoko-san and Hoko dolls" are generally given to celebrate the first festival of a baby girl. In the past, they were dressed in maternity clothes, which were also given to the celebration, and decorated with Hina dolls. It seems like everyone is staring at you, and I'm a little intimidated.

It is Chokokuji Temple in Nara that I visited at the end of summer and the beginning of autumn. It's still a little early for the fall foliage, but the tranquil atmosphere is calming.

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.

It is a "Hinamatsuri" event in Hagi City, Yamaguchi Prefecture. The Kubota House, built in the late Edo period, exhibited about 400 dolls, including Gotenbina and Yuso Kubina. It was a spectacular and fantastic space where the old chicks under Hagi Castle seemed to be playing a song at any moment.

It is a "Shinsui Park" in Hagi City, Yamaguchi Prefecture. The Kawazu cherry blossoms had passed their peak of full bloom and I could see the green leaves, but they were still blooming. On the day of the shooting, the sky was cloudy, but luckily, the sun came out, and the collaboration between the cherry blossom trees and the scattered cherry blossoms was beautiful.

[Isehara flower information] 3.01 Okame cherry blossoms along the Oyama New Road... Began to bloom It's March from today. It seems that a graduation ceremony was held at a high school in Isehara City, and I felt the arrival of Spring. It is ♪ also a spring letter from Oyama Along the Oyama Shindo (bypass), which runs for about 3 kilometers, Okame cherry blossoms are planted and pink flowers are beginning to bloom. The tree at the foot of the tree is still a young tree, so it seems to have a thin trunk and bloom early. Overall, I think the flowering is a little early this year due to the warm weather. It looks like it will be in full bloom next week. If you can see the flowers from the car window, it will be fun to drive.

? Hinamatsuri ? coming soon It's ? March in the blink of an eye Toma Chop is transforming into a chick! ?
