Back in Japan & Ohanami

I'm finally back in Japan as it grows to the end of spring break. Though jet-lagged and out of it, it's sakura time and I went to Iidabashi with my friend Mari to take a look at the famous cherry blossoms. Most are only partially bloomed, as the weather turned cold again - they'll probably reach their full bloom later this week and I am going to Yoyogi Park at least on Saturday for more, but they were still quite beautiful. As always, more photos on flickr.











Hungry koi, a staple of Japanese gardens. :p
