[Isehara Flower Update] 2025.3.12 * Ooyama Shindo ⛰️ I missed the Ooyama Mountain Running Marathon, but the Okame cherry trees along Ooyama Shindo have started to bloom—about 40% in bloom, I’d say. ⚠️ The Ooyama cable car is suspended from today, Tuesday, March 12, through Thursday, March 14, for wire rope replacement. Please be careful when you go out❗️ * Maruyama Castle Ruins Park (Shimokasuya 2168-2) The plum blossoms in the park have finished, and the Kawazu cherry blossoms are blooming beautifully✨ Only a few almond blossoms are opening at the lower end of the park, but they’re just beginning and will be a delight to watch going forward. #Isehara #Isehara #Flower Update #Ooyama Shindo #Okame cherry #Maruyama Castle Ruins Park #Kawazu cherry #Almond blossoms #Signs of spring #Tourist information

This is Momo Minamoto Township! It was started by the people of the Kine district to liven up the area, and now as many as 2,000 weeping peaches are blooming. In the center, a pond and a weeping peach is projected, and those who visit it Gari a voice of admiration. The best time to visit seems to be mid-April next year.

Spring has finally arrived in the southern part of Wakayama Prefecture. The flowers in the plum grove in Tanabe City also bloomed for 5~6 minutes, and bees were flying around. I took a picture of one of the seven herbs of Spring, Hotokenoza, in the foreground.
