I went to the cherry blossom tree-lined avenue at the Osaka Mint Bureau.

I came here for the first time in 10 years. I thought it was held a little later in previous years.


Entering from the south gate of the Osaka Mint Bureau, it was quite a distance to this point.

To enter, I showed a QR code to get in. Even though it was now by reservation only, it was still quite crowded.

It was difficult to get close to the cherry blossoms in full bloom because they were full of people taking pictures.




I gave up and had to shoot over people's heads.








This year's cherry blossoms "Otemari" near the exit of the North Gate were in full bloom and well worth seeing.


The cherry blossoms along the Okawa River are still in bloom, despite the strong winds and rain of the previous day.

We will be in the happy mood of viewing cherry blossom until the end of this week.
