戸倉上山田・周辺千曲市の春の代表イベント: 森「杏の里」あんずまつり
祭りは4月3日から始まったが、花は? この冬は寒かったせいか、花が遅れています。
4月10日に森へ行ってみましたが、咲いているのは唯一この1本だけでした。
しかし、天気は段々と温かくなってきていますので、週末あたり(4月14~15日)は良いのではないかと思います。また報告しますのでお楽しみに。
The main spring event for Togura-Kamiyamada Onsen and our city of Chikuma-shi is the apricot blossom festival in Mori district's "Apricot Village". Normally the entire valley would be covered by the whitish-pink delicate flowers, but since this winter has been so cold, the blossoms are delayed.
This picture is from when I went to check it out on April 10th. This was the only apricot tree in the entire valley that was blooming. However, temperatures have started to get warmer. I anticipate that by this weekend, April 14th and 15th, the trees should be in bloom. Will keep you posted.
