Japanese Apricots

Bamboo-leafed Oaks

Toyanogata Park (Shumoku Ward)

Hey guys! How’s it going? I went to Toyanogata Park Shumoku Ward, which is located in Niigata city, Niigata prefecture, Japan 🙂 It was on April 14th, 2025. Was a sunny and serene day with cherry blossoms in full bloom. My main purpose was to see cherry blossoms, but I found different kinds of plants and facilities, so I am going to share with you guys respective pictures with sliders. Please keep in mind that I have already edited some of the pics with an app that included people or car number plates. Okay, here we go!

26th Japanese Apricot Festival in Tagami

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.
