戸倉駅の上のキティパークのさくらも満開になりました。でかい天狗で(地元で)有名な公園で、桜の名所です。
先日は家族でプッチ花見しました。子供達は花より、団子より、公園の長~い滑り台を喜んだけど、私たち夫婦は夕日の桜を楽しめた。
今週末は戸倉上山田温泉にお越しになったら、キティパークの桜を見に行く価値があります。温泉街から車で10分ぐらい。
天狗に宜しくをお伝えください。
Kitty Park above Togura Station is at it's cherry blossom prime right now. Our family went there a couple of evenings ago for a mini flower viewing 'Hanami' party. The kids were more interested in playing on the the park's extra long slide, but Mari and I enjoyed the beautiful blossoms lit up by the evening sun.
Kitty Park's most famous resident is a huge Tengu -- a Japanese mythical goblin. He appeared to be happy surrounded by all the pretty cherry trees.
If you're headed to Togura Kamiyamada Onsen this weekend, I highly suggest stopping to see the cherry blossoms at Kitty Park. It is only 10 minutes by car from our inn.
If you do, please say 'hi' to the Tengu for us.
