They say that the sun always shines on TV, but sometimes the weather forecast on TV is not that bad. Like yesterday, when it said that it would be a fine day today, it proved so. And because my Kooriyama’s mother had told me that this week is the full bloom of Takizakura in Miharu, then the conclusion is only one: today is the day for Miharu visit, unless I want to wait for another year to see the sakura. And up is the result.
Brief facts about Miharu’s takizakura: it is one of Japan’s five famous sakura – the sakura trees that had been declared as natural monuments. The tree was estimated to have been there for more than 1000 years. And for someone who considered Fukushima as one of his 故郷, it really took long time for me to finally visit there (well, I’ve passed by it several times though). And even though it took around 4 hours round trip in order to see the sakura, I’m not regretting going there today to have seen it in such a fine weather.
