The cherry blossoms (Somei Yoshino) around Ashiya City are gradually starting to bloom〜 (Photos below were taken yesterday, 3/27)
↑Cherry blossoms along the Naruo-Mikage Line. Blossoms around the city are starting to open here and there like this〜
↑The row of cherry trees along the Ashiya River (Narihira Sakura-dori). Looking at the whole area, it still feels like there’s a ways to go…
↑Some trees are already blooming quite a bit〜
↑Yesterday was sunny and pretty warm, so it looks like the blossoms will keep opening from here〜
↑Next weekend, lots of events are scheduled around the city, including the “Ashiya Sakura Festival,” so hopefully they’ll be in full bloom by then!
