Mt. Atago (Kasama City) Cherry Blossom Festival

Sakura Festival in Mt. Atago (Kasama City) Sunday, April 7th (2019)

Many visitors came because Saturday and Sunday overlapped with the peak of flowering.

The Tengu no Mori parking lot near the summit is full of cars.

I can’t stop the car! !!

The weather was nice and the cherry blossoms were gorgeous.

P.S.
