The fabled apricot trees of Mori: Still on buds as of 03-April
戸倉上山田温泉の春の代表イベント： 近辺の森地区「あんずの里」のあんずまつり
本来なら、祭りはもう始まっていますがこの冬は温度が低くて、花は遅れています。あんずの里へ行ってみましたが、写真の様にまだつぼみ状態です。恐らく４月１０あたりから咲くのかな？
花咲き情報を提供しますので、とにかく、皆さん、一緒に「春よ来い！」
The main event our onsen town Togura-Kamiyamada looks forward to every spring is the apricot blossoms in nearby Mori "Apricot Village". The corresponding festival is scheduled to start already, but because we had such a cold winter, the flowers are later than usual.
I went to Mori to check on the blossom status, but as you can see by the picture, the trees are just starting to bud. Locals say they expect the trees to start blooming around April 10th.
I will keep this blog updated with the progress, but let's all say together, "It's time for spring to have sprung!"
