Hey guys! What’s up? This time I went to Muramatsu Park located in Gosen city, Niigata prefecture, Japan, to see cherry blossoms 😀 It was on April 14th, 2025. It was a sunny day. This is a famous park selected for “Japan’s Top 100 Places for Cherry Blossoms,” and approximately 3000 cherry blossom trees brighten the spring gracefully. Not only the cherry blossoms but also hepaticas, azaleas, hydrangeas and so on come into bloom, so it is also known as “Park of Flowers.” Well then, first off, I am going to share with you guys the pics of the cherry blossoms in the twilight.

Mizubashō Park

Hello there! This time I went to Mizubashō Park to see Asian skunk cabbage. It is located in Gosen city, Niigata prefecture, Japan. The date of my visit was on April 4th, 2025. Drizzling and chilly. I thought there would not be so many people because it was drizzling, but surprisingly, I saw about 30 people walking and taking pictures. I found a shrine and a temple as well, but first of all, I am going to share the pics of Asian skunk cabbage. Here you are! It is funny to know that this plant is called “skunk cabbage” in English. lol My impression was that about 30% of them were blooming when I took these pics.

Hey guys! What's up? I went out for the first time in a while. My destination was Bairin Park in Tagami-machi, Minamikanbara-gun, Niigata prefecture, Japan. Brought myself to this place twice to see Japanese apricot flowers that come into bloom a little earlier than cherry blossoms, aka sakura. My first visit was on March 26th, 2025. Cloudy. The second one was on April 1st, 2025. Drizzly. Alright, first of all I am going to share the pictures taken on the 26th of March. This tree is called Japanese apricot, aka ume in Japanese; they were showing a vernal atmosphere yet only 20% of them were blooming.
