In presence of Sakura🌸, Time stands Still🥰⭐️

#cherryblossom2024 The weather is good, the wind is calm, and there are quite a few people, making it a perfect day for cherry blossom viewing.🌸 It feels like a picnic.🥳 There are probably more than 1,000 cherry blossoms in full bloom, and it looks like a preview screening of the stage (venue) to show off to the onlookers.🌸🤩 Spectators have time to refresh themselves. I was enjoying the spring season to the fullest at the Senbonzakura Festival venue.☀️ Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow will be quite crowded as it is the final weekend, and there will be heavy traffic as we enter the parking lot in front of the venue. It might be a good idea to start early.🌸

#cherryblossom2024 Floral climax on the slopes of Mount Akagi Akagi is one of the hundred best places in Japan to watch cherry blossoms. This mountain is perfect for coming here in the spring season and admiring the views. How to get there The Akagi Cherry Blossom Festival, held in Maebashi in Gunma Prefecture, is easily accessible by public transport. In Tokyo, take the JR Joetsu Shinkansen to Takasaki Station. There, transfer to the Ryomo Line to Maebashi Station. The trip will only take about an hour. You can also take the JR Takasaki line from Ueno Station to Maebashi. It will take 1 hour and 45 minutes. You can get around the city by bus. The circular route starts at the southern exit from Maebashi Station. An unlimited one-day pass costs 1,500 yen for adults and 750 yen for children. The bus stops at the Gumma Flower Park and the German-style village Akagi Kronenburg Yuhodo. The cherry blossom festival is held within a five-minute walk from the village. Romantic moments A strip planted with sakura stretches along the slope of Mount Akagi for 3.5 kilometers. Rows of trees form a stunning airy pink tunnel above the trail. When the wind blows, a gentle floral rain falls from them. Traditional treats During the flowering season, visitors can buy food and drinks at the numerous stalls. A variety of dishes are prepared here, which are served at Japanese festivals — yakitori, yakisoba, takoyaki. Please note that it is very crowded here during the event. Cherry Blossom Calendar The time to observe the cherry blossom depends on the weather. As a rule, sakura blooms sometime in early April, but in different years these dates may shift within two weeks.

The most amazing National Day is to go to Qianqiao City, the seat of the county hall in Gunma County. I met Gunma Jun! ! () After Kumamoto and the minister met intimately, this is the second cute popular image that I saw in Japan! Super happy! ( ) But it is not this, but a super-small place to look at the city and night scenes of Maebashi City, the 32-story observatory of the prefectural office building! And also! ! Here is free! You can take the elevator up before 10 pm, not bad! There is a small restaurant where you can eat good burger meat and lunch is super affordable! (Cough, the staff of the county hall downstairs will come up for lunch.) How, this super super minority recommendation, isn't it? ? (* )
