There is a beautiful woodblock painting of Shōzaburō Watanabe I once saw with the name "owl and cherryblossom" and never thought to see a nocturnal bird like owl can be seen on a broad daylight. So it is a rare sight for me and happy to capture a moment like this. It was taken from kita asaba sakura zutsumi of Saitama Prefecture.

She loves spring and never gets tired of taking photos during this season. We spend an afternoon in Kita Asaba Sakura Zutsumi Park with great pleasure. This photo was taken there as a memory before her return to her country.

The best thing about spring in Japan is that everyone enjoys it to the fullest. Whether it's humans like us or four-legged animals. In many places, I have seen dogs, cats, birds, and other animals walking around in the garden or park with their families during spring and taking beautiful pictures. Here in Kita asaba Sakura zutsumi park, this two cute Shiba Inu posed for almost five different photographers excluding me.

Two little sweet children came to wish luck to a beautiful would-be mommy at Kita asaba sakura zutsumi park, Saitama. My friend went there for her photoshoot and these two very cute girl happily pose with her and that made the frame so beautiful. This park is covered with beautiful pink cherry blossoms.

This water Shangri-La of Gunma prefecture is a hidden treasure that I found out last spring. Minakami has all the things that give one peace. I don't know why this place is so underrated, at least among foreigners, since it's only an hour away from Tokyo by Shinkansen. I would want that everyone visits this place during spring, autumn, or snowy winter. Because this city is unique in every season.

The Plum Blossom Festival is now in progress at Kairakeun, one of Japan's three great gardens. About 3,000 plum trees of about 100 varieties are planted in the vast garden, and the feature is that you can enjoy the plum blossoms for a long period, with early blooming, middle blooming, and late blooming. Currently, 70% of flowers are bloomed. Beautiful night illumination also happened last weekends.

Today’s 2nd recommended place is yokohama . This gorgeous city has all those things that can attract any traveler. It has magnificent skyline, green and beautiful gardens, historical places and museum, amusement destinations, shopping areas and what not! and a great ocean beauty too. This port city has variety things to offer. But the best part of it is to enjoy the sunset from the deck area while the sky changes its color and city lights blinks like stars.

My today’s recommended place is Kawagoe’s Shingashi river side cherry blossom viewing spot. Though this place is really very close to #tokyo yet very few travellers actually know about this place. I’m not telling that it is a offbeat destination but not as much popular as it should be. Beautiful cherry blossom tree both side of the river and the falling petals all over the water made it so beautiful. Just imagine a boatride on a river of petals. surely it would be a unforgettable experience.

Spring in Japan means cities surrounded by rows of cherry blossom trees, but whenever we imagine we think about light pink or white flowers and their fragile petals fluttering in the breeze. But these dark pink cherry blossoms are also gorgeous and they bloom much before than common sakura. These flowers are called Kawazu zakura and you can see this grand view if you visit this town from late Feb to early march.

My today's recommended tourist spot is Fukaya green park. Cherry blossom season is coming soon and here I want to recommended this place. The overall area of the park is not very large but its well organized. A combination of tulip and cherry blossom can be seen here at the same time.

The five-storied pagoda of Ueno park looks very beautiful in every season. Ueno park is one of the most popular spots that hardly need any recommendations yet I want to recommend it because sometimes in a rush we somehow overlook a few things or spots that's why this post. Amid the colorless nature, the red pagoda and flower-printed Japanese umbrella in front of it formed a strangely beautiful scene.
Although the pagoda is almost covered in flowers during the sakura season, once on a peony flower exhibition day when I went there I stopped after seeing such a sight.

A much less known place in Tokyo. Several tourist and local people usually visit Kama kura to see the great budha but unfortunately many of them don't know this great budha of Tokyo. This great budha of Tokyo is selected as one of the top 100 tourist spot in in new Tokyo. Additionally this is the 3rd largest bronze statue of budha in Japan. This is located in Akatsuka of Itabashi city. Almost no crowd but very well organized place. I highly recommend tourists to visit Tokyo daibutsu during their stay in Tokyo.

湘南海岸。家から自転車を漕いで15分、私の景色。夕日に富士山、そして海岸に打ち寄せる波。子供と遊ぶ家族に手を繋いで海岸を歩く恋人たち、犬との散歩も。嬉しい事や悲しい事、どんな事でもこの風景が落ち着きを与えてくれる。この景色は写真でも伝えられないほどの色の鮮やかさ、自然の壮大さ、そして日本の美しさがあるけれど、私はこの湘南の海岸の美しさをできるだけ小さなレンズの中に納めて世界に伝えたいと思った。

I visited Meiji Jingu Shrine almost every season. Even in a densely populated city like Tokyo, there are very few places where you can see such beautiful seasonal changes. So it is an ideal place to visit any time of the year. This picture was taken during the snowfall and it looked absolutely surreal .
