Enjoy Spring!

You may know Sakura (Cherry Blossom) in Japan is very beautiful and worth watching. Of course, it is beautiful not only when the flower blooms perfectly, but also when it falls from the trees. The petals make the pink carpet. Regularly,  Sakura blooms from the end of March to the beginning of April. So you might be able to enjoy this view from this weekend. I would like to introduce a few places that you can visit from Nagoya area.
