Peony Garden at Ueno
Now it is the best season for the winter peonies at Ueno Tosyogu Shrine. The five storied pagoda above originally belonged to the shrine, but now to the Ueno zoo. Around Ueno a lot of people gathered to watch the beautiful peonies and the panda baby, xiang-xiang. I just enjoyed peonies.
Quiet Beautiful Places in Bunkyo ward, Central Tokyo
I visited “Sekiguchi Basyo An”, a hermitage where the Haiku poet “Basyo” lived in the early Edo period, working as a civil engineer for the water system.
Also “Shin Edogawa Park” once owned by a feudal load,Hosokawa from current Kumamoto prefecture. It is a stroll type garden with a pond.
It’s great fun to stroll around, especially looking back over the past and the people.

Cherry blossoms are in full bloom in Kamakura. As shown in the picture,Dankazura avenue which leads to Hachiman shrine is just like a cherry blossom tunnel.
Cherry trees along the Meguro River were perfect although it heavily rained.
