Aomori, Akita Lake Towada and the Hakkoda mountain range
From the Hagitoge Observatory on the Akita Prefecture side, this is a view of Lake Towada and the Hakkoda mountain range in Aomori Prefecture.
Cherry blossoms are in full bloom here and there, or petals are scattered, but the area around Lake Towada is still early spring. The snow on the shoulder of the road is drifting cold air.
On a sunny day, the blue sky and the blue surface of the lake made the whiteness of the remaining snow of the peaks of Mt. Hakkoda vivid.

Iwate Prefecture Gose Dam cherry blossom trees
I went out to photograph the cherry blossoms of Koiwai Farm with Mt. Iwate in the background, but unfortunately the cherry blossoms had just blossomed, and Mt. Iwate did not appear due to the temperature difference between the mountains and the sky.
I stopped by because the row of cherry blossom trees at Gosho Dam that I passed by was splendid.
It was impressive that the cherry blossom grove seemed to shine in the sunlight shining through the clouds.

Tsuruta Town, Aomori Prefecture, Tsuru no Mai Bridge
Lake Tsugaru Fujimi, where the Tsuru no Mai Bridge is located, has a tragic love story from 600 years ago.
At that time, the lord of Kiyomizu Castle Mayamanomori falls in love with Princess Hakusan, whom he met at a house he stopped at while hunting. It is said that the princess, with her long black hair and fair skin, looked like a white lily. However, the owner of the castle changes his mind and marries Kotohime, who was introduced to him by a wealthy farmer. Upon learning of this, Princess Hakusan throws herself into the Great Reservoir, and her remorse turns into a white dragon and curses the castle owner. And the castle owner also threw himself into this reservoir.
Thanks to the memorial services of the villagers, this pond has now become a source of water for Tsugaru Shinden and has been blessed with abundant blessings.

Hachirogata Lagoon's "Cherry Blossom and Rape Blossom Road"
Hachirogata was reborn as a 17,239-hectare "Land of Hope" in March 1977 after more than 20 years of reclamation work with the aim of alleviating food shortages after World War II.
In 1984, to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the village's founding, the villagers planted 3,000 cherry trees in three years, and 1,000 cherry trees in commemoration of the 50th anniversary. Rape blossoms were planted by local volunteers.
"Thanks" for the masterpiece of Somei Yoshino, Yaezakura, Beniyama cherry blossoms and rape blossom road that stretches for about 11 km! !!

Invited by the sunny weather, I visited Kajo Park in Yamagata City to see the cherry blossoms. The cherry blossoms were beginning to disperse.
As I walked on the stone wall of the castle, I heard a dignified sound of shooting in the calm cherry blossom blizzard. The sound of arrows shooting bows and shooting at targets resonated very pleasantly.
(Posted with the consent of the individual.) He was humbled that the shooting form was still a long way off. )

Karamatsu Kannondo in Yamagata City is located in the upper reaches of the Umamigasaki River, which is famous for the best imoni ceremony in the Japan.
It was built in 1661 by the castle owner at that time, Prince Matsudaira Tadahiro. The main statue, Kannon-sama, is said to be the work of Kobo Daishi, and the hall is built in imitation of Kyoto Kiyomizu-dera Temple.
It is said that this Kannon-sama was brought by Princess Toyomaru, who was married to charcoal-grilled rattan according to the instructions of Shimizu Kannon. Against the backdrop of the golden culture of the Oshu Fujiwara clan, there are legends of charcoal grilled rattan, the legend of the second generation Kinbai Yoshitsugu, and legends that the princess invited Minamoto no Yoshitsune, making it feel like an old tale.

Somei Yoshino lived for seven or eighty years. Wakutani Town, Miyagi Prefecture, launched the "Cherry Blossom Corridor" project 25 years ago to revive the rows of cherry blossom trees that were lost due to economic growth and river renovation.
It is a small row of trees about 1 km along Wakutani Castle and the Eai River, the residence of the Wakutani Date family, but this cherry blossom tunnel appears only in spring, and people in the neighborhood enjoy cherry blossom viewing.

Takizakura in Miharu Town, Fukushima Prefecture, is one of the three major cherry blossoms in Japan. It is the first famous cherry tree to be designated as a national natural monument.
It is an old tree with red branches and drooping cherry trees that are said to be over 1,000 years old, but when it bloomed in full bloom, it looked like a waterfall flowing down in layers.
On the day I visited, the locals said that the conditions were the best, and the blue sky, vivid rape blossom colors, and cherry blossoms in full bloom made me enjoy the spring splendour.
It is said that he said, "To the capital, I can hear the sound, takizakura, invite iroka, and the spring breeze of flowers."
