Enjoying the sights, sounds and smells of first-time parenthood. Progress on the vegetable garden and other ramblings of a gaijin in Japan’s least populous prefecture.

Last Sakura

Filed under: Uncategorized — adekun @ 3:33 am

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.

Sakura Blossom

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.

  2. I should get out more often and further a field. I’d like to share some pictures of the locale. Having lived in Sarfolk for so long, the mountains here are a welcome change. I do miss it (and the beer) though.
