Takehara Pale Ink Cherry Blossom This time last year, it was almost in full bloom, but this year it was just beginning to bloom. The lower one was beginning to bloom here and there, and the upper one had many buds. I wonder if next week will be the best time to see it? Shot on iPHONE 11 PRO 26mm JAPAN Mie 2024/3/18

♥🌸 Kawazu cherry blossoms× This is one at "Nabana no Sato" in Mie Prefecture. I found it 😆 by chance when I was walking upwards I couldn't help but stop at the heart made of Kawazu cherry blossoms and click the shutter.

I wanted to take a spring-like photo, so I took a photo walk in Asakusa. The Plum blossoms that fill the screen become a picture frame in a good way and bring out the charm of the five-storied pagoda.

Thirteen years have passed since the Great East Japan Earthquake This photo was taken on April 3, 2018 It is a row of cherry blossom trees in the night forest of Tomioka Town, Fukushima Prefecture. The Great East Japan Earthquake made it difficult to return home. Decontamination work has progressed, and in this year, Part of the tree-lined area has been opened to the public. At that time, only the opening of short straight roads Surrounding shops and houses are barricaded It was an enclosed ghost town I think I stayed for more than an hour. It's not a time to attract tourism There are almost no people who look like tourists. I only saw a few groups of people who seemed to be locals. I revisited it in March 2021. Tomioka Town became an outpost for reconstruction It's a very lively town. The open area has been greatly expanded. The branches of the cherry blossoms are beautifully selected. It was also prepared to be lit up. Realizing that reconstruction is progressing I remember how happy I was. The Noto Peninsula, where there is no fear of radiation, Reconstruction should be faster Good luck Hokuriku, good luck Tohoku.

I hope that the children who gather under the cherry blossoms of the Nonagase family in Nakahechi, Wakayama Prefecture, will have a bright future where everyone can have a dream, with peace without war.

Torohachicho in Kitayama Village, an enclave in Wakayama Prefecture, has suspended sightseeing boat operations due to the Coronavirus pandemic, but hopes to resume. I hope it will be crowded with tourists like before.

Kumano cherry blossoms have been recognized as a new species for the first time in 100 years as a wild cherry tree. It is darker in color than mountain cherry. The Kumano cherry blossom in the photo is an old tree that blooms in the Kozagawa Mine district. I went out to shoot in the pouring rain this morning, but the flowers were in the final stages. But the Kumano cherry blossoms smoking in the rain were the best.

This photo was taken at the backwari embankment in Kyoto. Petals have fallen into the hollows of cherry trees, and sunlight is shining on them. I took a picture of the cherry blossom petals because they looked like birds and seemed to be leaving the nest.
