Here’s a look at the cherry blossoms (Somei Yoshino) around Ashiya City, photographed yesterday, April 2〜
Cherry Blossoms in Kawanishi-cho
↑The cherry blossoms on the west side of the Naruo-Mikage Line in Kawanishi-cho always bloom early each year〜. They’re starting to look pretty close to full bloom.
↑Around here, they’re blooming really beautifully!
↑That said, on some trees, sparrows have been pecking at the blossoms and making them fall. Hope they don’t peck too much…!
↑Here’s how it looks around the Kawanishi Sports Ground & Gymnasium. They’re gradually starting to bloom, but it may not quite feel close to full bloom yet〜
↑Here’s the area along the Naruo-Mikage Line east of Sakura-dori. The blooming stage really changes quite a bit depending on just a small difference in location〜
Cherry Blossoms on Chaya Sakura-dori in Chayanomachi
↑The row of cherry trees along Chaya Sakura-dori. The southern side looks like this〜
↑By the way, part of the sidewalk on the west side of Chaya Sakura-dori was recently repaved and is now yellow〜 (Thanks to Mizuking @ Ashitsu SP for the info!)
↑Here’s how the north side of Chaya Sakura-dori looks. As expected, the north side blooms earlier every year〜
↑At this rate, the pedestrian zone and lawn picnic event on April 6 might be enjoyed under cherry blossoms in full bloom♪
↑Now we just have to hope for good weather〜! Here’s hoping it’s perfect picnic weather!
Cherry Blossoms on Narihira Sakura-dori in Narihira-cho (Ashiya River)
↑Here’s how the cherry blossoms along the Ashiya River look〜. They’re steadily blooming!
↑A lot of people probably look forward to cherry blossom viewing on the riverbed every year〜. This weekend should be looking really nice!
↑The cherry blossoms are also being lit up, so enjoying the blossoms at night sounds nice too〜
↑We’re also looking forward to the Ashiya Sakura Festival being held this weekend on Sunday, April 6!
