This is Sanaruko park in Hamamatsu city.
There are a lot of cherry trees planted for about 40 years ago in this park, many people enjoy at the cherry blossoms season every year.


We were bringing lunch box then eating and chatting with my family under the cherry tree,
and it was the sky of the pink color when looking up, those makes me can feel ''Spring is here''




There are various kinds of cherries but in Japan, most is the kinds of Somei-Yoshino cherry tree.
