Cherry Blossom Viewing Spot in Tokyo - Oyokogawa

I learned from the Japanese travel agency that the cherry blossoms on both sides of the Oyokogawa River are in full bloom. When I arrived on 3/7, the flowers were in good condition. The weather in Tokyo this week is mostly sunny, and there are few tourists here. You can really take pictures at will, and the leisurely atmosphere is a bonus , if the viewing angle is good, you can also capture the cherry blossoms and the composition of the Tokyo Skytree. I didn’t expect to have the opportunity to capture the starting point of the spring cherry blossoms. Lucky!

Cherry Blossom Viewing Spot in Tokyo - Kiba Park

Crossing the road to Kiba Park, I happened to meet a group of photography enthusiasts, as if they were waiting to shoot the birds on the trees. I couldn't help but stop and watch them with their concentration (laughs).When I walked into the park, I found that there are a lot of parent-child groups here to relax, or the elderly come here to bask in the winter sun, and when I get closer, the little burger is playing with dirt, and the whole body is covered with dust. Mom, I am so angry, but The opportunity to let him play with dirt is rare, so let him stick to his thigh and let it go.

Most of the cherry blossoms planted in Kiba Park are Yoshino cherry blossoms, and it will take about two weeks. This year, the cherry blossom front line is predicted to be fully bloomed one week earlier, and the grand white and pink flower season will be ushered in at the end of March, so I also told Wendy to come again. , instead of going to Ueno Park to be crowded with people, it is better to come here and maybe there will be fewer people. I will update and share the current situation with you in the future.

Unexpected food surprises in Tokyo's Koto Ward

After an afternoon of fun, we are sure to be hungry. Wendy took us to buy a shop that sells homemade bread and bagels. The business is very good. Many flavors are sold out. After choosing strawberry, whole wheat, and salty flavors, we plan to take them to Disney Ocean for breakfast the next day. , On the way back, the small burger was really hungry, so I ate a piece of strawberry bread first, and praised its fragrance and sweet and sour!Finally, I bought two boxes of Fukuoka strawberries at a local supermarket and returned to the hotel.

A box is priced at 598 yen, and there are about 10 pieces by visual inspection. It is super delicious after washing and tasting. Not only is the fruit aroma excellent, but the taste is sweet and sour. After one bite, I feel that I am so happy to be in Japan at the moment, and I plan to eat strawberries every day. , to make up for the regret of not being able to eat strawberries in Taiwan this year, and the price is super cheap according to the exchange rate. I highly recommend everyone to buy and eat.
