The iconic symbol of one of the most happening city of Japan, Osaka. Osaka castle has an important history but not only that but also for it's location and natural beauty made it more popular among tourists. This is my second trip and during the sakura season, and it looks stunning.

This is a photo taken in Kashima, Matsuyama City, Ehime Prefecture! When I was going down the stairs, I looked ahead and saw this scenery spreading, and it was one of my favorites because it was so beautiful that I naturally took a picture and fell in love with the scenery.

Wakayama castle looks very beautiful during the spring time. There are many cherry blossom in the castle area. The surrounding greenery makes the whole view very beautiful

Decided to go back to Gyoda again this weekend. We had such a good time last time we went we decided we wanted to check out the cherry blossoms this spring. Managed to visit some really nice places. We originally wanted to use the rental bicycles that they have in front of the station but we got there past noon and all of them were taken unfortunately. Fortunately for us, it ended up getting a bit colder later on so it actually worked out. We got lucky as there was a really convenient sightseeing bus that rolled through the station to all of the major places in the city every 45 minutes or so. We checked out the cherry blossoms at Gyoda Castle and they had the Hanachozu 花手水, pots of flowers floating in water. We were able to see a few of these throughout the city which was nice. They also had traditional umbrellas on display in a few areas around the castle which was really pretty. After Gyoda Castle we visited the Sakitama Burial Mounds which had some really beautiful views of the cherry blossoms. There was also a flock of herons flying around the area but I wasn't able to get a very good photo of any of them. Luckily we got some great photos of the cherry blossoms and the main mound and had a really enjoyable time. We also stopped by Suijo Park and there were some food stalls in the area, but we got there when everything was just about closed so we only got to see a few of the vendors. We managed to get a really tasty lemonade and a latte though. Both tasted really good. Surprisingly there were a lot of cosplayers at the park. We probably saw like 20-30 people cosplaying using the bridges and cherry blossoms in the area. On the way back to the station we managed saw this river during the bus ride and so we backtracked a little bit after getting to the station about 5 minutes walking and got to enjoy some really phenomenal views of the cherry blossoms along the river. There were hardly any people there as well, surprisingly. Overall it was a really awesome time!

The sight of it blooming was a masterpiece! It was in full bloom 🌸 and very powerful ^^ 2022.4/3.AM location:Cherry blossoms on the alligator mound

This photo was taken when camping at Koan Campground on the shore of Lake Motosu. Mt. Fuji glowing orange in the setting sun was very beautiful.

It is a waterfall located in Sakata City, Yamagata Prefecture. I tried to express the size of the waterfall by putting plants in the foreground.

Cherry blossoms and Mt. Fuji The cherry blossoms at the foot of Mt. Fuji are about to bloom, so I'm looking forward to it. I took this photo in the park of Chureito in Fujiyoshida City, Yamanashi Prefecture.

This is one of the photos I took when I visited Kuonji Temple in Minobuyama in Yamanashi Prefecture to take a picture of cherry blossoms. I could feel the bond that they have always been and will always be together in the back of the couple who seem to be good friends. Bringing happiness and spring warmth through the cherry blossoms

It is around Kasuga Taisha Shrine in Nara Prefecture. The citrus fruits were growing in a flutter, and on the vermilion torii gate, it seemed to represent a bountiful harvest.

Castle in the clouds The Takamatshu castle is known as the castle in the sky. In the early morning from November to March we can see the clouds covering the castle. Unfortunately we were little late but still we got this nice view. Location: Takahashi, Okayama.

In the depth of true nature. On the way of our journey to Nachi falls we start treck from Diamonzaka. The whole road is full with very cedar trees. It was an amazing experience. We really feel the nature here. There are many trees which are more than 800 years old. Location: Diamonzaka, Wakayama

The nachi waterfall is one of the most famous waterfall in Japan. Its really very beautiful. The combination of the mountain, waterfall and the three storied pagoda makes the the environment so beautiful and scenic.

Proceed to the back of Ginzan Onsen in Obanazawa City, Yamagata Prefecture to "Shirogane Falls" As the name suggests, the waterfall flowing in the snowy landscape was like white silver!

A autumnal beauty of shinjuku national park. Shinjuku is one of the best destination to see the autumn colors n Tokyo. The water in the pond creates a good reflection of the bridge. Its one my favourite destination for autumn in Tokyo. Location: shinjuku, Tokyo

Showing you the cherry blossoms standing quietly, it is Junsai Pond in Ichikawa City, Chiba Prefecture.

Osaka Castle as seen from Osaka Castle Park and Nishinomaru Garden in Osaka City. There is an admission fee of 200 yen in the garden, but it is very beautiful because you can see Osaka Castle in front of you and seasonal flowers are in full bloom. Spring is a famous place for cherry blossoms. The view of white snow willows growing in clusters is also superb.

Traditional city with traditional make up. The new leafs of the willow trees makes the places very picture perfect. Location: Kurashiki bikan historical quarter, Okayama

Kurashiki bikan historical quarter is a very popular destination. I visited this place during sunset. Its a superb experience. Highly recommended place. Location: Kurashiki, Okayama

Ox Tora Shrine in Shobara City, Hiroshima Prefecture. The torii gate surrounded by a forest of guards is truly a gate of Kakuriyo. I've been to many shrines, but I feel that it is quite rare to find a place that is in such harmony with nature.

Located in Yamanashi Prefecture, the cherry blossom trees of Tokushima Weir.

It is a scenery that I wanted to take when I was driving leisurely on the country roads of Nagano in summer. There are no tall buildings, the sky is very wide, and the view of the countryside that can be seen far away is really soothing.
