Spring is the season when gorgeous flowers bloom. What kind of flowers do you like? ? This time, I will introduce you to a cherry blossom spot where you can see my favorite cherry blossoms🌸 and rape blossoms💛 at the same time! 😉 ---[What is "Agri Park Sagayamaen"?]--- "Agri Park Sagayamaen" is located in Matsuda-cho, Ashigarakami-gun, Kanagawa Prefecture, and is one of the most famous Kawazu cherry blossom spots in Kanagawa✌🏻 ̖́- Some of you may have noticed this article. In fact, it is a 10-minute walk from "Matsudayama Herb Garden", which was introduced in the recent Trip Memory! 🚶♀️ However, please note that the entrance fee must be paid separately⚠️ ---〖You can take photos with rape blossoms and cherry blossoms📸〗--- The highlight of "Agri Park Sagayamaen" is the cherry blossoms and rape blossoms blooming all over!! Most of the cherry blossoms are Kawazu cherry blossoms, so now is the best time to see them...! 🌸 Also, unlike "Matsudayama Herb Garden", there are many rape blossoms in bloom, so you can take photos of the spring colors!! Also, if you take a photo from the top of the slope, you can take a wonderful photo that looks like you are in a tunnel of cherry blossoms! Please take a photo of your favorite one💕︎ ---〖For those who are confident in their physical strength💪〗--- This wonderful "Agri Park Sagayamaen" is recommended for those who are confident in their physical strength🤧 Because, the road to "Agri Park Sagayamaen" and the grounds of "Agri Park Sagayamaen" are actually incredibly steep!! 💦 In particular, the roads in "Agri Park Sagayamaen" are not paved, so you will have to walk on dirt roads... So, I recommend that you come wearing shoes and clothes that you don't mind getting dirty👟 and comfortable clothes🕺👍 By the way, "Matsudayama Herb Garden", which I introduced previously, is at a lower altitude than "Agri Park Sagayamaen", and there is also "Matsudayama Herb Garden" on the way to "Agri Park Sagayamaen", so if you are physically exhausted, you can change your destination🫶🫶🫶 ---〖Summary〗--- In today's post, I introduced "Agri Park Sagayamaen"!! Compared to "Matsudayama Herb Garden", there are fewer people, so you can relax!

#TokyoSakura On this spring day when flowers are blooming, I decided to go to Saga Sanen to experience the beauty of the cherry blossoms and rape blossoms there. Along the way, the sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves, casting mottled light and shadows, as if crowning my journey. When you enter Sagasanen, you will be attracted by the pink cherry blossoms at first sight. They dance gracefully in the breeze, like a group of fairies performing elegant dance moves on the spring stage. Each cherry blossom is like a shy little girl, lowering her head slightly, but unable to help showing me their beauty. I couldn't help but reach out and touch it. The petals were as soft as silk, with a faint floral fragrance that was intoxicating. Walking in the sea of ​​flowers, I found that the rapeseed flowers looked particularly dazzling against the backdrop of cherry blossoms. The golden flowers are as warm as the sunshine. They sway in the spring breeze, as if waving to me. The fragrance of these flowers intertwines to form a unique spring scent that makes people feel relaxed and happy. I found a bench to sit down and quietly appreciate this spring painting. Children's laughter can be heard in my ears, old people are chatting under the trees in the distance, and the breath of life permeates the entire mountain garden. At this moment, time seems to have stopped, and only the beauty of this moment keeps echoing in my heart. As the sun gradually set, I decided to take some photos to capture this beautiful moment. The cherry blossoms appear softer under the setting sun, while the rape flowers shine in the golden light, which is truly incomparably beautiful. After a day of sightseeing, I came away with a lot of spring memories and a heart full of gratitude for nature. Saga Mountain Garden not only allowed me to see the feast of flowers, but also made me feel the beauty and hope of life. Next spring, I will definitely come here again to reunite with the cherry blossoms and rape blossoms.

#springblossom A nice cherry blossom park for 300¥ per Person. The catch, you need to wait around 1 hour in line to get here. So if you willing to wait, I think it’s worth. The parking is far so park at the station or other parkings, because you can’t enter the park with a car. Only bus or by foot. And for everyone with a dog, you also can enter the park. — There two lines. One line for buying the ticket and the other one is for waiting to go up.

I did waterfall training at Takigo Falls in Ashigarakami District, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. I climbed a mountain a few hours by train from the city and camped out in the mountains. The waterfall I reached after crossing a river dam was a super relaxing space.

Mt. Tono is a mountain that represents Kanagawa Prefecture as a day-trip destination. The most well-known of the hiking trails to the summit of Mt. Tono is the ridge climb from Okura. This hiking trail, commonly known as the Baka Ridge because of its one-sided climbing, has many mountain huts along the way due to the large number of climbers. It is very useful as it also serves as a guide for measuring the course time. The facilities vary from hut to hut, but it is nice that they all have a delicious menu. Course time: 6.5 hours round trip from Okura bus stop (round trip to Mt. Tono) Access: It takes about 30 minutes by bus from Shibusawa Station to the Okura bus stop #Domestic travel #Mountain climbing #Mt. Tono

Mt. Tono is a representative mountain for day hikes in Kanagawa. This mountain has good access to the trailhead and is known for the beautiful view from the summit. If you put in a little more effort, you can reach Mt. Tanzawa, one of the 100 famous mountains in Japan. Due to the season, beautiful mountain azaleas were in bloom. Unfortunately, Mt. Fuji was not visible, but if there were no clouds, you can see Mt. Fuji and Sagami Bay at once. For some reason, there were many people who seemed to be inbound tourists on this day. There is little danger, but it is a mountain that requires physical strength, so be careful. Course time: 6.5 hours round trip from Okura bus stop (there is also a course to Ybitsu Pass, but it is somewhat difficult due to chain sections, etc.) Access: It is about 30 minutes by bus from Shibusawa Station to Okura bus stop #Domestic travel #Mountain climbing #Mt.
