2021年の春に旅した時に出合った光景です。
国道13号の秋田と山形の県境付近を走行中、良い感じの低い雲が山にかかってて近くにすぐ登れる山ないかなって思ってたら道路脇に薬師山っていう山の登山口。
急いで登って20分くらいで山頂についたらこの光景が見れました。
雲海に浮かぶ小さな島と爽やかな新緑が最高にマッチしてました。
見せてくれた自然に感謝です。

自然豊かで気が生い茂っている大学。

I went to Kakunodate, Akita last April this year. I was looking forward for the Sakura trees but I went there a bit too early.

Although I couldn't see the full bloom of Sakura flowers, I still had a good time here. Kakunodate is also known as the "little kyoto" of northeastern Japan. Like Kyoto, it also has beautiful nature, good food, and delicious desserts. I even met an adorable Akita dog named Bukemaru. He is popular in that place, and I want to visit him again.

ママ友（一人はまだお腹の中）二人のお花見小旅行。コロナ禍でも確り自撮りしてお花見を楽しみました！

日本の「さくら名所100選」に選ばれている青森県立芦野公園には太宰治文学碑や銅像、津軽三味線発祥之地の碑などがあり、ソメイヨシノなど1500本を超える桜があります。特に芦野公園駅付近は、線路を覆うように広がる桜のトンネルの中を津軽鉄道が走り、その光景は忘れられない旅の思い出です。

The fondest travel memory I have of Japan is being able to experience with my family the majestic view of cherry blossoms in full bloom which is truly a sight to behold.

One quiet morning during the spring season, we witnessed how early risers of Osaka get to start their day with a picturesque canopy of sakura trees in full bloom. One can’t stop but be left breathless in sheer delight by just looking at the majestic sight of these flurry of pink and whites flutter in the wind.

Our personal experience of hanami was an unforgettable memory because the experience left us with a great reminder on how our lives are much like the sakura blossoms -- beautiful and fleeting.

Life is so short and so one must enjoy and appreciate every moment we have while we are alive.

犬山城のふもとに有る神社が、ピンク色のハートが絵馬が、奉納されています、とてもインスタ映えの前でカプルが、写真を撮ている光景がとても、微笑ましく感動しました。三光神社の赤鳥居と絵馬を切り撮りました。

新録の郡上八幡城にいてきました、郡上八幡城は山の上に有り、下から歩いて２０分位かけて上がりました、山道の脇にわ新録の木々に囲まれて、とても快適でした。

岐阜県大垣市のたらい船の観光にいてきました。天気も良く、新録に滝がマッチして、とても感動しました。

この春岐阜県の樽見鉄道日当駅で、撮影しました。この日は満開で、起動車と、さくらを入れて、撮りました。

Wanted to post this earlier this week, but better late than never I suppose.

Was walking around Arakawa and they were having a rose festival sort of event it seemed like. Over by Arakawa Amusement Park there was a little area set up with some stalls. I didn't get to check it out but it seemed like there were a lot of people there.

The amusement park was also open. I don't think I've seen it open for a while so it was nice to see people are able to visit it again. When I was passing the Arakawa tram I noticed there were tons of roses along the sides of the track that I'd never noticed before so I decided to snap this photo of the pink tram passing by with them.

秘密の場所で桜キャンプ?
サーカスtc×桜は相性抜群?⛺️
日本でアウトドアといえば桜ですよね☺️
また来年も行きたいな〜✨

長野県南信地方にオープンした山の寺キャンプ場で撮影しました。ソロキャンプサイトに佇むテントと、焚き火の煙お新緑が太陽の光で照らされて幻想的でした。

Went to Karuizawa for Golden Week!

We booked our shinkansen tickets well in advance so we were basically flipping a coin with the weather, but it still managed to be a really fun trip despite 2/3 days being rain.

We were able to do a lot of shopping at the outlet mall near the station and other places in the area on the first and third days when it rained so it worked out perfectly.

My girlfriend's friend was headed back home from Tokyo the same direction we were headed so she stayed one night with us and then we were able to all hang out and go shopping in Karuizawa for most of the day after which she hopped back on the shinkansen towards home.

The second day was really nice weather, despite being just a bit chilly, but it was still nice enough that we were able to rent some bicycles and ride around the area.
The place where we rented the bikes gave us a nice sightseeing route to go on and so we were able to see a bunch of different places and use our time effectively.

When we were headed into town we crossed a bridge and there was a nice view of Mt. Asama with a ton of fisherman fishing along the river below the bridge. It was a pretty cool sight. We even got to see someone catch a fish as well.

We obviously went to Shiraito Falls as well and it was really beautiful. There was a sign behind that described how the water took around 5 years to come out of the ground where the waterfall was or something to that effect as well. The path leading up the waterfall was quite neat as well, with the river running next to it and a giant fallen tree with more smaller waterfalls to go with it. There was also two wooden carvings of the characters from Demon Slayer (鬼滅の刃) which was interesting.

The food in the area was delicious as well. We were staying at a pension and we only had breakfast with our stay, so we ended up going to another pension where they had yakiniku and we got a pretty good price for a massive platter of food. I was so full at the end I'm not sure how I made it back to where we were staying for the night lol.

The third day we did some shopping up at Harunire Terrace (ハルニレテラス) and we kind of just relaxed in the area. It was a pretty trendy place surrounded by nature and there was a hot spring up the road as well. We wanted to go in the hot spring but there was a pretty long line so we decided to pass.

We ate dinner at one of the restaurants at the terrace and while all of the indoor seats were taken, we were able to get some outdoor seating.
It was cold out so I didn't think it would be a good idea, but they had some heaters outside and blankets and it was actually quite enjoyable.

Had a lot of fun and it was a really great place. We might travel there again during the summer when it's warmer as well or maybe in autumn when the leaves change color. I definitely recommend giving it a visit!

Had a nice relaxing golden week and to finish it off I saw some carp streamers billowing in the wind at some park along the river near Kita-senju. Had some really nice weather the past couple days too, which was great. Hope everyone had a nice holiday/vacation!
