Well, it certainly seemed to take long enough but i guess spring has finally arrived! i definitely did NOT enjoy the japanese winter, even though everyone tells me it was very “mild” this year. i guess it’s been confirmed that i’m not a cold weather girl. on tuesday after work my lovely friend fumie picked me up and we went to a plum tree park near one of the train stations (umetsubo – one stop before toyota). even though it was already late in the day and pretty much completely dark i took some wonderful photos thanks to the flash of my camera. it smelled absolutely delicious….. i hope i can get back to the park before all the blossoms are gone. according to most everyone, everything’s blooming super early this year. the plum blossoms (‘ume’) are about two weeks ahead of schedule. the cherry blossoms (‘sakura’) will follow in a few weeks time.
I’m pleased to look this article on your website!
When I look these pictures, I remember that delicious smell.
I wish we went to this park in the daytime!
See you!
Lovely – absolutely lovely! Nothing is blooming here yet, but spring can’t be far off. Make sure the cherry blossoms don’t pop out before we get there!!
I went to the park yesterday with the guy…
Blossoms were pretty beautiful!
Thank you for your information.
I didn’t know the park.And we had romantic time.
Wow these photos really make me jealous as we just had 12 inches of snow over the weekend. We’re still months away from anything blooming so from our winter perspective you’ve got it easy in Japan.
