| Japanese people realize the coming
of spring with the blooming of cherry
trees. Cherry trees are found everywhere
in Kanazawa. When the cherry trees blossom
out all at once in April every year,
the streets are wrapped in light pink,
and people beam excitedly and go out
for cherry blossom viewing.
Kenrokuen Garden is open to public
free of charge for about two weeks
during the blooming period. The cherry
blossom is lit up after sunset. Therefore,
people can go for cherry blossom viewing
at night as well.
The Ishikawamon Gate of Kanazawa Castle,
the riverbanks near the Asanogawa
Ohashi Bridge, and Mt. Utatsu are
also known as major cherry blossom
viewing spots. People can stroll around
the areas and enjoy the cherry blossom
in harmony with the scene of historical
buildings. |
