Cherry-blossoms with Castle at Kokura;

     
*Went to Kokura-Castle to see Cherry-blossoms*
My old friend whom I've been to Fuji-mount. told me about the cherry trees in this castle and asked me to go there together. I really appreciate her offer; saying both the blossoms and the castle may be attractive for my foreigner friends♪  As yesterday 2nd was the best day before the rain, there were so many people enjoying the flower.

*So Crowded*

We went back to see night scene with light-up;

       *Wonderful afternoon stroll*
Before going back to the castle, my friend took me the cherry‐tree‐lined path 'more than 4㎞' along the river. It was a gorgeous afternoon stroll with breathtaking view.
My friend lives close to this place, and said waiting this season to enjoy the walk. 


I hope you will have a wonderful coming new week;

  3. The cheery blossom is so beautiful, it's a shame it only lasts a short time.

  14. Dearest Miyako,
    Oh my, how I would have loved to be in Japan during the cherrie blossom time... We were there in July and of course no blossoms.
    This looks like a fairytale and the castle is incredible too.
    A very worthwhile visit with your long-time friend! Not old friend as you both are still young.
    Hugs and blessings,
    Mariette
