Leave a reply

120225rain01This morning I took my daughter to the school and took this picture on the way home in Shirahama.

When it is sunny we can see the blue sea from this point, but….

Since last night it have been raining in Shimoda and still raining.

Of course I know the rain is neccesary for Sakura to bloom, but it should be on weekday at least in this season.

Because a lot of people come to Izu peninsula to see the Sakura blossoms.

120221sunrise03This morning I took my daughter to Shirahama shrine, because she has a school trip for 3 days from today.

They took a bus to Mishima train station and will take Shinkansen to Kyoto.

I hope she has good experiences and memories in Kyoto and Nara.

I took this picture on the beach behind Shirahama shrine after my daughter left.

There were some people walking on the beach this morning.

120218sakura05In Japan we have a lot of kinds of Sakura.

And the earliest blooming is Kawazu Sakura, which usually starts to bloom from the end of January.

But this season it is later than usual.

Kawazu Sakura festival has already started from February 5th, but it is only 5 % blooming on this stage.

In our garden there are some Sakura trees and they also have just started blooming.

The best timing to watch Kawazu Sakura in this season will be after the end of February, I think.

120210sunrise01This morning there is no wind, no big waves and very quiet.

But it's very cold as usual in this season.

When I came back home from Shimoda downtown I could see a beutiful scenery with sunrise and golden road on the sea in Shirahama.

Today we have a big party of a lot of students from Nihon University.

The sunny day will welcome them today.

"There is a rainbow! Look outside, Dad!"

My son and I went out and found out the beautiful rainbow in the sky.

"Let's go to take pictures, Yuuki!"

My son and I went to the top of mountain behind our hotel.
