In the town of Kyoto, the season of the Someiyoshino cherry tree was over almost. However, you can still see the other cherry blossoms. The many in Kyoto city, is a weeping cherry tree.
You can also see a double cherry now.
Sakura seen last in Kyoto city flower is the "cherry Omuro" of Ninna-ji Temple. I can enjoy Sakura still.
The majority of Japan now is facing a season of cherry blossom. In Japan, you can see a variety of cherry blossoms, but the blossom you can see most is a Yoshino cherry tree.
This flower will bloom all at once in the absence of leaves. After the flower has fallen, the leaves will trees grow. Beauty of fall flowers seems to fit the feelings of the Japanese people. I also love the Yoshino cherry tree.
March 2016, I announced a new version of the original song "Sakura". This song is a song to celebrate the cherry blossoms of the Japanese cherry blossoms, especially the Tohoku region. In myspace, I have published without the vocal version. In YouTube is I have published the song that contains the singing voice. Please listen to this song to try. I am waiting for your impressions.
I went in the bullet train to Tochigi Prefecture from Kyoto last month. I bought the station lunch at Tokyo Station at that time. That's the photo below.
The lunch is a Yokohama specialty "Shumai bentou", dumplings lunch. I tasted the ingredients of Chinese cuisine. Dishes are arranged to suit the Japanese taste. There is the largest Chinatown of Japan in Yokohama. I felt the lunch box to symbolize such a Yokohama. I want to recommend this station lunch to you.
