cherry blossom さくら サクラ 桜   









I'm travelling with my family at the moment. As we travelled, we saw 'sakura' everywhere in Japan. we are very lucky to follow the cherry blossom every where we've been. Our chasing 'sakura' started in Kamakura (starting from the bottom).

From the top:

Nara Todaiji
Nara 'Goju no tou' Five story's tower
Kumamoto Minami Aso (South Aso) - Jigoku Onsen (the hell hot spring!)
** can you see the wind power turbines in the distance??
Kamakura
Kamakura kenchoji temple

Sakura has very shot life; when we got back to Kamakura after 7 days, all the blossoms were replaced with the leaves.
