梅祭り (Plum-Flowers Festival)

Before the Sakura festival, we have the plum flowers festival. Some of the plum trees are already blooming with their red or white flowers and the temples should be crowded with photographers snapping away the best flower shots. Click photo to view more


When I was at Yushima Tenjin last week, this was the lowest tree with full bloom. That’s why everyone was crowded around this poor tree to snap photos.. including me!
