(2026-04-05) Night Cherry Blossom Illuminations at Shingashi River Flowing behind Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine in Kawagoe City, Saitama Prefecture the cherry blossom avenue here is famous I went to take photos for the first time last year This year, I aimed for "flower rafts" The flower rafts along The Philosopher's Walk at Lake Biwa Canal in Kyoto are too high a hurdle, so I decided to go for Saitama instead, haha With various plans overlapping I managed to squeeze in a visit on Sunday night After transferring trains three times and switching to a bus Result: No flower rafts appeared Maybe the strong wind blew them away That said, I think I got some pretty nice shots of the night cherry blossoms I figured out the route to get there and I captured some beautiful night cherry blossom illuminations (●´ω｀●)

The Promise of Spring Every day during my business trip, I visited Kushida Shrine. The giant cherry tree, which stands as a symbol, is nearing the end of its spring display. Among the increasingly green trunk, the double-flowered cherry blossoms were sprouting. It felt as if I could hear a voice saying, "I'll be waiting here again next year." Thus, the seasons slowly change, but the cherry blossom period will surely return. Spring will continue to be passed down.

"The Last Radiance" Uminonakamichi Seaside Park is beautifully maintained. As you venture deeper, you come across less frequented areas. Along the roadside, camellia trees are planted. A fallen flower, illuminated as if by a spotlight in the shadows of the thicket, caught my eye with its elegant presence, prompting me to lift my camera.

"Spring, bursting forth in crimson" When we think of spring, we think of cherry blossoms, tulips, and rapeseed flowers. However, the true stars of this beautiful season are not limited to these. The Japanese maple, known as shōjō, turns a vibrant red in spring, then shifts to green in summer, and once again displays its autumn foliage. This stunning red is a hidden gem of spring. Location: Hakata, Kushida Shrine

"In the Sparkling Aftermath of Rain" The location is Tenjin Chūō Park in Hakata. The rain that had been falling until last night stopped by morning, leaving everything fresh and sparkling. Flowers are planted all around Hakata, making the morning particularly refreshing. When I glanced over, I saw the dried leaves, holding rain, shimmering beautifully behind the tulips. Through the old lens, that light seemed to celebrate the arrival of spring.

My gaze is drawn to a small shrine halfway up the mountain. The gentle rain nourishes the air, carrying the sweet scent of spring.

"The Collaboration of Two Great Cherry Blossoms" Chichibu is home to Hitsujiyama Park. Here, beautiful moss phlox bloom in late April. On this day, the cherry trees were in full bloom. However, I thought it might be a bit early for the moss phlox, only to find that the newly planted seedlings were thriving. I was able to capture both types of cherry blossoms in a single photograph.

"On the untangled spring, I think of the moon." "The moon smiles in the unfilled sky." "Spring gently melts away." "On an unnamed path from Ueno to Nippori, the cherry blossoms looked up at the newly risen moon. I couldn't help but point my lens to admire the moon alongside the cherry blossoms. It was such an ordinary street that I couldn't find a hashtag for the location..."

"Breath of Spring" With my first old lens in hand, I headed to Hikarigaoka Park in early spring. The park was still devoid of blooming flowers. As I strolled, I suddenly felt a gaze from the shadows? There stood a messenger of spring, illuminated by a spotlight. Beyond the fresh green, the bokeh from the old lens sparkled like bubbles of breath. It was spring that could only be captured by an old lens and the latest DSLR.
