“Sakura of the Mind: Blossoms in the Halls of Thought”

#cherryblossom25 Walking through Hokkaido University during cherry blossom season feels like stepping into a dream. The wide paths lined with soft pink sakura contrast beautifully with the quiet dignity of its Meiji-era architecture. It’s not just about beauty — it’s about the feeling. There’s a calm, thoughtful rhythm here that you don’t find at more touristy hanami spots. I watched students reading under the trees, professors strolling slowly with coffee, and petals drifting across the canal. It’s where spring and scholarship meet in perfect harmony.
