Wolong Park Cherry Blossoms

Wolong Park is located on Wolong Mountain, which resembles a flying dragon lying down. It is a famous viewing spot known for its view of the Northern Alps of Japan, also known as the Hokushin Five Peaks. At the center of the park is the expansive Longchi Pond, surrounded by over a hundred cherry trees. The main variety is the Somei Yoshino cherry, which is pure white with a hint of pink. The park's most distinctive feature is the breathtaking view of the cherry blossoms in full bloom against the backdrop of the snow-capped Hokushin Five Peaks. At the end of the blooming period, the petals cover the surface of the pond, and the ripples of cherry blossoms stirred by the breeze are one of the most beautiful sights to see in Wolong Park. Whether boating on the pond or admiring from the shore, the experience is equally moving. The park hosts the Wolong Cherry Blossom Festival to coincide with the cherry blossom season, held annually from early to mid-April. During this time, visitors can also enjoy the dreamy view of the night cherry blossoms and the brilliant red sunset slowly descending the mountains. Of course, the festival is not without its food stalls, with skewers of meatballs in one hand and Kanto-boiled skewers in the other, all against a backdrop of beautiful cherry blossoms, satisfying both the palate and the eyes. Wolong Park Address: 2-4-8 Wolong, Suzaka City, Nagano Prefecture

May Flower Review – Gentleness that blooms along the roadside without permission 🌸🌿💮 May in Japan is the season when everything comes back to life after the cold has subsided. New leaves, clear streams flow, and the cutest of all… “small wildflowers” ​​that bloom without showing off but make every step along the way filled with gentleness. 🌼 On the hiking trails around Kamikōchi, I came across many flowers that even though I don’t know all the names, each one of them made me smile without realizing it. The flowers are not in large groups, not arranged in garden plots, but they grow along the roadside, protruding from the cracks of rocks, or surrounding small streams. Sometimes they grow in the middle of old tree stumps — as if to say, “Beauty doesn’t have to be in a frame.” 💐 The ones I often see are: • Shakunage (シャクナゲ / Japanese Rhododendron) Sweet pink flowers blooming under the shade of large, humble trees • Nirin-sou (ニリンソウ / Anemone flaccida) Small white flowers Blooming in small clusters along the stream, it seems like nothing, but when the light hits it, the petals reflect light softly, beautiful like the morning light. • Yama-zakura (山桜 / Japanese forest cherry) that still remains in some places, the leaves and flowers bloom together, giving a soft, raw, unadorned feel. • Tanpopo (たんぽぽ / Dandelion) Bright yellow, seeing it makes it seem like nature is smiling at us. 🌱 And in some places, we only find small trees that are about to bloom, which are as beautiful as the flowers that are in full bloom, like life that is in its own rhythm of growth without having to rush. ✨ These flowers do not ask us to stop. But they bloom quietly right there. When we see them… our hearts feel strangely lighter.
