The second time I was in Japan during Easter. I admired the cherry blossoms at the beginning of their full bloom in Osaka and Kyoto. At the end of this time, I witnessed in Tokyo where many of the petals were on the ground, creating a completely different mood - excluding the first two days of "downpour" in Tokyo.
Ōsaka Castle
Match 30th
Firstly, we went to the castle - it was much busier than two months ago!
Asukayama Park
Tōkyō, April 1st
We spent our first evening in Tōkyō not far from the hotel in a park that had set up "cherry blossom illuminiation".
Yoyogi Park
Tōkyō, April 2nd
Since we haven't gotten wet enough, we continued to Yoyogi Park. In theory, they are adjacent to each other, but in practice, we walked around once since we didn't find the entrance right away...
Hasedera
Kamakura, April 3rd
Second day, just as much rain, but with a touch of wind and spare socks in the backpack.
Kenchō-ji
Kamakura, April 3rd
Lastly, we were in a temple compelx, and when we left, it had finally stopped raining and the sun was shining again.
Imperial Palast
Tōkyō, April 4th
As good toursits, we also checked out the Imperial Palast.
Ueno Zoo
Tōkyō, April 6th
Our last excursion took us to Ueno Zoo. Besides the fact that I really like going to zoos, the pandas were a good reason to do so in Japan too.
Unfortunately, the weather was often very wet on this day too...
