Hi, Japan tourism bureau
My Mt. Fuji view point.
Hmmm, the cloud hides her again.
I went to another Buddhism temple, Gonen-ji, founded 1752.
The temple's site is big and it's surrounding area, Enkai Zan, is Yokohama City Nature Reserve.
There are hiking trails to Kamakura area.
The hill to the temple is short but mighty, hard, steep.
The pic was taken when I went down
Japan's typical early spring suburban beauty.
pink : ume plum
white : cherry blossom
yellow : nanohana, or colza
At the summit of the nasty hill.
Went into there.
Front, camellia.
Back, cherry blossom.
The main building of Goen-ji, at last.
Beautiful building.
Hard work just paid off.
The roof is thatched with copper.
Yes, C&Vers' favorite thing, patina.
On the way back home, at Oooka-gawa.
Cherry blossoms on the left bank haven't bloomed yet.
They will bloom the next weekend.
