Sayonara sakura

As mentioned before it has been windy and rainy the past week. The sakura held out for the sakura matsuri (cherry blossom festival) on Saturday. Cloudy early on, it soon warmed up. We walked through the park, through wafts of pink petals and barbeques.
A little further to the south, the following afternoon was spent around Shoyama. Countless trees line the river.
It’s hard to portray in a couple of photos, especially being overcast. I had a really nice time despite sneezing myself inside out.

It was a hot start to the day, so we decided to go to the nearby Minatoyama Park. The common sits at the foot of the city castle ruins and has a great many Sakura trees. It is coming to the end of the blossoming period and as we walked the petals drifted beside us.
After an unhurried meander, my wife went for a nap whilst I carried Kento up the hill and around the ramparts for a hazy view of the city - most of which is out of shot.

The name means rice child. There is a big festival called Gainamatsuri at end of July.
Below are some photos taken in April from the remains of the Castle. Sakura trees are in the foreground.
