Sakura 2014: Muromi

Here’s my last sakura post for this year! And just in time for the new school year too! My last spot would be Muromi, aka, the place where I stay.

I decided to walk around my neighbourhood one day, and I was really surprised to see how many sakura trees there were.

Look, you can even see Fukuoka Tower from here! 

Since the sakura flower only once a year, there were trees that surprised me. For example, I didn’t know the two trees outside the convenience store near my house were sakura trees.

And I was definitely not the only one taking pictures of the sakura.

In fact, about five to ten minutes from my place, there’s a place called Atago jinja (Atago Shrine). From a distance, all I saw was a line of pink, but when I got closer, I realised this was a sakura tunnel.

The entrance 😀 

 I actually struck up a conversation with an old man carrying a camera. I’m definitely not the only one that went there to take photos of the sakura.

Although we both grumbled about the cable lines getting in the way.

But it’s still a really great view! I wanted to take a 360 panorama, but there were the same problems I had with the previous one (all those ghosting) that I got a headache and gave up after a while.

a lot of blurry parts ><

So that wraps up my sakura posts for this year! The next few posts will be probably be school related, since I’m starting the new school year tomorrow!

What do you think?
