Here’s how the cherry blossoms (Somei Yoshino) were looking around Ashiya yesterday, March 26〜
↑The cherry tree-lined street along Naruomikage Line in Kawanishicho. From a distance, it doesn’t look all that different from how it looked the day before yesterday, but…
↑Some of the trees have definitely started blooming! Yay〜
↑The cherry tree-lined Chaya Sakura-dori. A pedestrian paradise and lawn picnic event is planned for Sunday, April 6〜
↑The small tree across from Chaya Nursery School was blooming quite a bit! It might already be around 20 to 30 percent in bloom?
↑Also on the north side of Chaya Sakura-dori, in the area with lots of restaurants. It looks like they’ll be doing cherry blossom illuminations around here too, and the equipment was being set up〜
↑Can’t wait to see the rows of cherry trees in full bloom all lit up〜!
↑Lastly, the cherry tree-lined Ashiyagawa/Narihira Sakura-dori. For many people, this is probably the spot that comes to mind when they think of cherry blossoms in Ashiya〜
↑These have definitely started blooming too〜! So nice to see!
↑They’re still just starting to bloom here and there, but hopefully the blossoms will be in full bloom for the “Ashiya Sakura Festival” on Sunday, April 6〜!
