I woke up early Thu ..visit Chidorigafuchi
It is northern porti..ding Imperial Palace
My path is shown here
From point A, lookin..th down eastern moat
The rising sun was i..he east, to the left
Lots of cherry trees..anted along the moat
These were only slig..- the colors varied
Looking toward point B
This tower on a pede..s me of a lighthouse
Do you see a statue ..ing in the blossoms?
Yay, lack of depth of field!
Shinagawa Yajiro was..cian in Meiji period
His statue is near e.. the Yasukuni Shrine
Back to the moat
At point B, looking south
This stretch is famous for its sakura
It would be nice to ..g under the branches
Trees on the east (i..e still in the shade
Pink!
White!
Lots of visitors for..ami (flower-viewing)
At point B, looking back east toward A
Cherries along the s..l as lining the moat
Sun shining through blossoms ...
... creates a white glow
Two favorite Japanes..ees: pine and cherry
Looking south from point C
These flowers wanted some attention, too
The rental boats wer..pen for business ...
... but I saw a long..eached the boathouse
I can see why people would wait
At point D, looking back northeast
Maybe I'll rent a boat one day
It was very peaceful at this early hour
Every now and then, ..the middle of a city
Near the entrance to the boathouse
I wonder how they br.. boats back to shore
Several people were ..ng spots for picnics
