【Isehara Flower Information】 January 22, 2024 Hyuga Yakushi, Ametake Bunko, Plum in the General Sports Park ... It is beginning to bloom. Plum blossoms are beginning to bloom in Isehara City. Perhaps due to the influence of the warm winter, it seems that the flowering is earlier than usual. The scent is good, and you can feel the arrival of spring a little earlier. By the way, wax plum is also a yellow flower that blooms during this season, but this is a member of the Roubai family, and it seems to be a different variety from the plum of the Rosaceae family. In any case, I'm looking forward to seeing it in full bloom.

Mt. Fuji seen from Tateishi Park in Yokosuka City is a work of art itself. I want to see this scenery forever.

However, even after the distribution of porridge was over, there were constant pilgrims, and it was Hyuga Yakushi who was celebrating a lively New Year's holiday.
