In early April, I visited a small river in Sabae City where I could see carp streamers, cherry blossoms and pretty daffodils all at once. On my way back home, I stopped by at the vast fields of mustard flowers in the middle of nowhere. They were surrounded by untainted nature and so beautiful. When I was looking around in the yellow fields, I spotted a bunch of pink color in the far distance. They were cherry blossoms! As a certified Sakura hunter, of course I chased after them without knowing where I was heading. When I arrived, they were inside a some kind of park, but there was no sign or anything to indicate what it was. I decided it was a free park only for me, and enjoyed my tranquil stay under the beautiful cherry trees!

They say when the center of cherry blossom turns dark pink, it's about to fall off a tree. The days of their beauty were numbered!
Wheel tracks on a green lawn inside the park, it looked like someone was there before me.
