Hello steemians!
I am RYO!

I went to see the beautiful cherry blossoms in the temple with my friends!

That day is March 24!
This year the cherry blossoms bloom early because the climate is warm

These cherry blossoms all bloom on the grounds of the temple↓

My friend↓

It's me↓

There are some old cherry trees in this temple.
And every cherry is growing big!

Beautiful😊

This is the oldest cherry tree in this temple↓

When I saw it nearby, I noticed that there was an aid to prevent tree "rot"

Probably cut the branches to keep the tree from rot to save energy…
This cherry tree is over 600 years old.
I hope this cherry will live longer😊

There are many other big cherry trees

Most cherry blossoms are "Yoshino Somei".
But these cherry blossoms are of the type "Sidare-zakura".
It's a cherry whose branches "drop"

This is a temple. There is a big cherry tree nearby↓

There are pine besides cherry blossoms. beautiful Japanese garden

This temple names "Seiun-ji"

This temple seems to have been built in the 1400s.
The cherry blossoms planted at that time have lived together with the temple for over 600 years

This temple is the area where I live, but I visited this temple for the first time.
I am really happy to see such a wonderful cherry blossom😊

I think spirits, souls, and gods dwell in cherry blossoms that have lived for 600 years.
Absolutely, beautiful cherry blossoms will continue to bloom at this temple😃

And I moved to another place

I posted about this place last year.
In this place, a lot of pink flowers bloom from the second half of April.

This flower is named "Shiba-zakura".
It meaning is "Cherry blossoms of turf"

Shibazakura has white and red colors in addition to pink.
I would go see it somewhere when it's the best season😉

↑And this temple seems to have become famous for the anime "Anohana"↓

"Ema(Wooden board to write your wishes on)" has Anohana design↓

I have never seen this animation, but the influence of this animation has increased the number of foreign tourists in Chichibu😃
I would be glad if I could draw a manga that could affect you like this anime someday😁

And I ate soba as usual😆
Chichibu is very famous for soba!
