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.

Taken with the sunset in the background, it is the floating hall and cherry blossoms in Nara Park. It was so beautiful!

This is a photo of spring cherry blossoms that was taken when we had a kimono date in Kyoto. On this day, when I dressed in a sakura-colored kimono and ate cherry blossom mochiwata candy, I felt the spring of Japan very much and it was a fulfilling day. In the spring of Japan, I think that the warm and bright sunlight will make both people and flowers feel bright.

I took this picture because the sunset and cherry blossoms overlapped and were very beautiful. Because there are cherry trees in a nearby park, you can take pictures of them on a nice day. I would be happy if I could not only go out into the city and see a lot of cherry blossoms, but also see even one cherry tree in spring near the town where I live.

What an awesome gate. I can't remember if it's the same place, but I think I went here a few years ago, I went to several different areas and I'm pretty sure this is one of them. Either way, if I did go I'm certain I wasn't able to climb the stairs of the gate. I'd love to see the inside of it though. I guess it was built a little more than 200 years ago according to an article I was looking at. Also there are two statues of Nio on the other side, so I'm almost certain this was the place I visited, although I wasn't able to go to the main temple as it was getting late I believe. I'll have to go back to see it. I always hear how cool Setagaya is anyways and I never get a chance to go out there. Golden Week plans maybe?

The cherry blossoms of Chotokuji Temple are scattered, and the ground dyed pink with petals is worth seeing.

At the beginning of spring, the plum blossoms in the Suzuka forest are a masterpiece. This year, I took a picture of the end of the year when the flowers began to fall.

Shot in the Negarami-mae paddy field in Hamura City, Tokyo. I also feel the vitality in the bulbs.

Shot in a tulip field in Hamura City, Tokyo. On this day when it rains and stops, umbrellas are put in and closed.

Shot along the Tama River in Hamura City, Tokyo. The pale pink weeping cherry blossoms were blooming cutely.

What a beautiful photo. I've always found it interesting but never understood the train enthusiast culture, but when you see photos like this you really start to understand why. I really love seeing the old steam locomotives personally, as opposed to the newer models and shinkansen. I know about the Sagano romantic train and always thought it'd be a really cool experience to go on a sightseeing trip in Kyoto using it. I never knew Gunma had such amazing scenery as well. My friend from there always tells me how unbearably hot it gets in the summer so I just always assumed there couldn't be too much worthwhile, but I guess Japan's four seasons really are as prominent as they say. Amazing...

When I went to photograph the Kawazu cherry blossoms in southern Izu A dog who was taking a walk. The dog also seemed to be smelling the early spring smell.

What a cute picture! Before coming to Japan I never really payed much attention to the natural scenery and wildlife, but, and I don't if it's because I've aged or because Japan has so much natural beauty, I've come to appreciate it much more. Seeing photos like this I just can't help but think how amazing it is. It's so cool that it can just hang upside down like that too lol. It's such a beautiful photo, capturing not only nature in the cherry blossoms and with the cute bird, but the clear blue skies above them as well. It's another one of those photos where you can practically feel what the weather was like on the day it was taken.
