満開の桜咲く公園で休足中

This photo reminds me of winter, but not because of the weather, because the trees are all white and it reminds me of rime covered trees that are frozen in winter. I always like seeing white cherry blossoms as they seem a lot more rare. And of course, it's another place in Nagano Prefecture lol. I swear there's no shortage of beautiful scenery in Nagano, I'm not sure as to why that is, but it always has me wanting to go and visit. I guess there's fireworks at the nearby Lake Suwa as well, so that'd be fun to go and see during the summer. I already have so much I want to do in Nagano so this is just a +1 to that list!

今年は雪解けもお花の開花も早く、このロケーションは見れないと思っていたのですが、前日までの花冷えのお陰で、見ることができました??

憧れの残雪の山々と春の花に出逢えました☘️

桜が各地で咲き始めると、遠くからは見ていても近くで見ることがない場所が何箇所かあり、今回、ソノひとつのトコロに行ってみました?

秋の紅葉もいいですが、この時期、新緑の頃のモミジの花もいいものです！

Wow this is really incredible! What an amazing entrance to a temple. It's an unusual design for a torii (at least from the ones I've seen) but it really fits the image. I love the lanterns on both sides as well. They really compliment the white and pink of the cherry blossoms with their glow. It's kind of crazy how much awesome stuff I keep seeing in Nagano prefecture. I've seen tons of cool places in Akita, Saitama, Hokkaido, etc. but I still haven't gotten a chance to check out Nagano and every time I see something amazing like this I just feel like I'm missing out. It looks like this is called Iinuma Shrine although it's hard to find information about it. Looks like a cool place to visit though, I'll have to do some more digging on this!

Man this is really beautiful. I never knew peach trees were this beautiful. I knew about plum trees and cherry trees of course, but these are really beautiful as well. It's so cool how the different colors and shades mix together in such a perfect way too. I wonder if they were planted to turn out like this or they just grew to be this way naturally. The river nearby is really amazing as well. It'd be a nice place to just sit and have a small picnic. I'm definitely jealous of anyone that gets to live near this area? I'd love to be able to wake up every morning during spring and see such an amazing view outside my window. I'll be going to see some cherry blossoms this weekend though so I can't complain too much!

This is really cool, I love how you can see like 3 different landscapes in this photo. Cherry blossoms in spring, the Northern Alps still in winter, and in the middle it looks like a sort of dry landscape you'd see during the summer. I've read about the Hakuba Ski Resort but it looks like there's some beautiful scenery here in the spring as well. Then again, it is Nagano so I guess I shouldn't be too surprised lol. I'd personally like to go down and visit the town and see what they've got. I've been to a few small towns at the bases of ski resorts and mountains before and they're always really nice and have a really different feel from any other town. There's usually at least one really good restaurant to eat at as well. Something to look forward to in Nagano I suppose!
