Weeping cherry trees in full bloom at Tenshoji temple. I was lucky.
Next, another kind of cherry blossom, Higanzakura. It is very famous tree of
Natural Monument (Gunma Prefecture Designated). The cherry tree is in full bloom
on April 19.
Then, a huge weeping cherry blossom at Kamihocchi. This tree is often called
Jizo Zakura, a cherry blossom with stone statue. Can you see small Jizo and my
brompton at the foot of the tree?
The tree still needs some more days to bloom but scarlet buds are beautiful
with the blue sky backdrop. It will bloom soon next week.
