Spring slowly works its way in - GXR A16


The weather is now just finally getting nice. It's still a bit chilly, in the mid teens (around 15° C/just about 60° F). And the cherry blossom trees are just starting to bloom.


A nice old lady was kind enough to give me a little history. The tree on the right in the above picture was planted as a clipping from a tree in Gifu Prefecture 30 years ago, and she watched it grow all these years.


The local shrine.

These pics were all taken near Tabata station, a really nice place to walk around and enjoy the feel of a different kind of Tokyo. The cherry blossom trees should be in full bloom next week, so if you have time I recommend a visit.
