Hitsujiyama Park Sakura and Shibazakura
Hitsujiyama Park is located in Chichibu-shi, Saitama Prefecture, and is around
105 minutes by Seibu Railway Limited Express from Ikebukuro, Tokyo. It is famous
for Sakura blossom and Shibazakura (plants color like Sakura but grow on the ground).
Before going to Japan, weather forecast said it would be rainy all week, so I
did not bring my main camera, but took a compaact camera instead. Unfortunately,
it was sunny on the day I went to Hitsujiyama Park (20060415).
On the day I went to Hitsujiyama Park, Sakura there was in full bloom, and the
Shibazakura was in half bloom.
