It’s that time of year again. Cherry blossoms! Because of the cold winter, which dragged on longer than usual, the peak of bloom was about a week late. But worth the wait!
Last Friday evening we walked around Sasayama Castle. Of course, the city lights up the trees and the castle, providing a truly magical landscape.
Next day, we walked around the castle while the sun was up.
This was the weekend of the annual Cherry Blossom Festival, which meant there was a lot going on: food booths, boating, even a jazz band.
Can you tell I really like living here?
