Sakura Blossoms in Japan

Posted by KhoKing on Tuesday Apr 8, 2008 Under Photography

This post is not a family post…but photography post of some of the scenes I captured during my family Sakura visit to Hiroshima city.

Below is the must visit place for those who visited Hiroshima. The ruptured building was previously the City Hall of Hiroshima before World War II. Atomic bomb exploded right on top of this building…this is the remaining and always serves as a remembrance for the young generations to come.

While adults are enjoying their chit-chatting under Sakura trees, childrens love to play bubbles around… :)

Yes…everybody just love to sit under Sakura trees and enjoy their meal. Some did BBQ there as well. Weather is nice, not hot and not too cold.

Recently, I got lots of free print coupons…few hundreds photos…so must take lots of photos to get printed. So…my wife and I decided to bring Megumi out today (we planned few days ago) to take photos of sakura. Yes, some already blossoms!

We are surprised that there are many cars in the garden! Didn’t expect to see so full in the carpark…seems like many are like us…wanna come early to enjoy sakura view while it is not yet that crowded.
