Sakuras in the Home Town: 4-18-22

I had the opportunity to visit my grandparents and view the cherry blossoms at the local Castle. Over 1 million buds. Unreal.

Pop-up shops here for the cherry blossom goers, inside the castle walls.

I didn’t realize a castle moat could be considered beautiful.

My wonderful grandad, always a few steps ahead.

Dango!
