Cherry blossom viewing

  Cherry blossoms are in full bloom.

Yesterday, I went cherry blossom viewing with my sister-in-law.

Everywhere cherry blossoms are in full bloom now. 

We didn't decided where to go.

In the end, we chose a Zen temple, Toshoji, which we had visited in fall before.

There were only a few people visiting and it was very quiet.

Our lunch we bought at a convenience store was delicious under the falling petals of cherry blossoms .

 

The next place we visited was a Shingon sect temple called Kokushoji.

 

 

we visited there two years ago and also posted it on this blog.

The bright red camellias and cherry blossoms in full bloom were so beautiful.
