Now is the season of cherry-blossom viewing. Yesterday I went to Hamamatsu Castle Park. It was early in the morning and there were only a few people jogging or walking. Cherry blossoms were in bloom like these over the pond.
Green leaves, pale pink blossoms, blue sky…
These blossoms were also beautiful though I don’t know their name.
In the center of the city, Hamamatsu Castle Park may be the best spot for cherry-blossom viewing. But Central City Library has also a nice cherry tree in front of it.
Under the tree, there is a monument of Kuraji Ishikawa (1859 - 1944) who was born in Hamamatsu and founded the Japanese braille system.
The website of Hamamatsu City Library provides links to information about the coronavirus available in several languages (https://www.lib-city-hamamatsu.jp/osirase/osirase_link_covid-19_multi.html). The information is well described, including how to wear a mask correctly.

Beautiful! It reminds me of a trip to the lakes around Mt Fuji & Izu peninsula last April. :>
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment! Eastern Shizuoka Prefecture including Mt. Fuji and Izu has many beautiful places to visit and hot spring resorts. This year, people should voluntarily refrain from having parties under cherry trees. It was nice to see blossoms in a quiet atmosphere.
