Cherry Blossoms are in full bloom in Tokyo

The Imperial Household Agency opened the Inui-dori Ave. in the Imperial Palace to the public during the cherry blossoms season.

So, I decided to go there and take pictures.

I hope you to enjoy some more.

The following photos were taken around the Chidori-ga-fuchi area.

China Town in Yokahama

 Today is the beginning of Chinese New Year under the lunar calendar. Here in Yokahama China Town lion dance was performed It was enjoyable.

Diamond Fuji

Mt. Fuji is the tallest mountain in Japan. Its height is 3,776 meters. However, it is hard to see Mt. Fuji from the ground level in the center of Tokyo because of many tall buildings. Still, there is a spot where people can enjoy the majestic view temporarily in the Meiji-Jingu Gaien area until Dec. this year; Tokyo National Stadium was dismantled in order to build a new stadium for the 2020 Tokyo Oplympics.
On Feb. 4, 2016, one of my friends of my high school days took pictures of Mt. Fuji and sent them to us. I got his permission to post them on my blogsite. Those are something special, so please enjoy them.

 In front of Meiji Memorial Picture Gallery many amateur photographers are preparing for the shutter chance.

  The sun set behind Mt. Fuji this day. We call this 'Diamond Fuji'.
