2015.04.07: 温泉タウン戸倉上山田 Onsen Town Togura-Kamiyamada, 季節 Seasons

戸倉上山田温泉の桜名所が亀清旅館の裏にある中央公園。この地域は杏の花で有名ですが、桜もちゃんとあります。今年は普段より1週間ぐらい早く咲きました。ちょうど満開です。

おかみの会の花見は合わせて、4月10-12日に行われるそうです。屋台を出しますので、毎年は盛り上がります。どうぞ、いらっしてください。

As you probably know, cherry trees are called 'Sakura' in Japanese. But have you heard of 'Yozakura'? Sakura lit up at night ('yoru').  The park behind Kamesei Ryokan, Chuo Park, is the main Sakura spot for our onsen town, Togura-Kamiyamada.  The Ladies Guild has lanterns put up, creating the perfect Yozakura ambience.  This weekend, April 10-12, the guild members will set up a tent and serve warm food and cold beer for the hanami (flower viewing) revelers.  Won't you come join the fun?

Yesterday was pictures of the famous apricot blossoms in Mori. Today it's Kyohoen's orchard just north of our onsen town, Togura-Kamiyamada. Flowers in full bloom, clear blue sky and a gentle spring breeze -- perfect!
