The second time I went to Japan, I came only for cherry blossoms. Japanese love cherry blossoms, and every year when cherry blossoms are in full bloom, the whole country is bound to be jubilant. The world also loves cherry blossoms. Perhaps, no flower is as popular as cherry blossoms. The first time I set foot on the land of cherry blossoms was on 20 15, but it was a little late, and the cherry blossoms in Tokyo were drawing to a close. In addition, the weather was not good, and it rained for a few days, leaving some regrets.
When bloom was warm in spring this year, I went to Japan again to look for the most beautiful cherry blossoms. According to the tour route, the first stop is Osaka, passing through Kyoto, Numazu and Nagoya, and finally arriving in Tokyo. The cherry blossoms in Maruko Garden in western Osaka first surprised me. There are more than 600 cherry trees in the park, and bloom is very splendid. Elegant cherry blossoms surround Tianshou Pavilion, an ancient building with Yamato national characteristics. They set each other off, highlighting the elegance of ancient buildings and the beauty of cherry blossoms.
I came to Kyoto the next day and it began to rain in Mao Mao. When I entered the Dagou Temple, it rained heavily again. The schedule is so tight that we can't delay. After getting off the bus, walking in the rain, cherry blossoms lined the streets and poked their heads out of the temple walls. Tourists walk through it with all kinds of umbrellas, which is another flavor. The Walking Temple, a world cultural heritage, is the main temple of Shinrikyo Buddhism in Japan. Founded in 874 AD (Zhenguan 16, Japan), it has a history of 1200 years. Ancient buildings such as Jintang and Pentecostal Tower in the temple are Japan's "national treasures". The cherry blossoms here are in full bloom around the temple, which is in harmony with the ancient temples.
The cherry trees planted here are mostly drooping branches, mostly pink and white, and there are many tall old trees, with thick and vigorous trunks, twisted branches, mottled bark and moss, which are quite vicissitudes. Some are petite and exquisite, shaped like umbrellas and soft as willows, which are particularly graceful and delicate. At first glance, it looks like a fragile woman shivering in the drizzle and cold wind. The petals in the rain were stained with water drops, which made them feel ashamed. Under the tree, they are red, and I don't know how much sadness they have added. Look carefully, her weeping willow branches are so graceful and gentle, fluttering in the cold wind, just like Japanese geisha dancing in kimono in cherry blossom songs.
Intermittent light rain drifted in the breeze, and in the drizzle, a modest pond jumped into my eyes. The spring water is slightly rippling in the wind. There are rugged rocks by the pool, unique garden houses, small red arch bridges and even hanging branches. Just like a shy bride, her eyes are low and her eyes are graceful. What a beautiful picture remains in my memory. Looking at cherry blossoms in the rain, I feel a little lonely. Cherry blossoms are easy to make people sad. The cherry blossoms in the rain are a little more charming and a little more melancholy. Cherry blossoms usually only take one week from flowering to withering, so their life is short. What is even more embarrassing is that in such a chilly spring season, how can a weak body withstand the cold wind and rain?
Spending the night in a small town in Nagoya, it rained all night. On a cold night, it is a very pleasant thing to follow the oriental custom, take off your clothes and feel the authentic Japanese hot springs. Woke up the next day, the drizzle was still there, and flowers were everywhere. A person walking on a deserted road, watching cherry blossoms standing on both sides of the road, the trees are wet and mottled, and they can't help feeling inexplicable disappointment. Those flowers covered with rain and mud are still so fresh that the wind and rain blow them down so cruelly. ...
After eating the exquisite Japanese breakfast, the rain stopped. When I came to Heping Park, it was already spring breeze, and the warm sun shone in the sky. Facing the blue sky, the flying white clouds, the elegant white pagoda and the four Zhou Xue-like cherry blossoms, I felt extremely peaceful and relaxed. Looking at the misty Mount Fuji from a distance, and looking at the Bell of Peace and the bronze statue of a monk, it seems that you hear the voice calling for peace echoing in your ears. Those white cherry blossoms need to bloom in peaceful land.
Journey to the south, accompanied by cherry blossoms. Along the way, the most shocking thing was Ueno Park in Tokyo. Ueno's cherry blossoms have long enjoyed a good reputation. More than 90 years ago, Mr. Lu Xun had a subtle description in Mr. Fujino. It looks beautiful to me, too. They are all in full bloom. A long cherry blossom road, especially wide, is almost covered by lush cherry trees, which covers the sky and is very strong. Under the flowers, tourists are weaving, countless people come here, and the whole Ueno is almost captured. Groups of Japanese (mostly young people) are covered with plastic sheets, sitting on the floor, placing drinks and food, and enjoying cherry blossoms while eating and drinking. It's dusk, the cold is biting, and they have no intention of leaving. It seems that they have to appreciate night sakura before they leave.
However, what impressed me the most was the Thousand Birds Garden in Tokyo, where I saw the most beautiful cherry blossoms. That is the ultimate beauty.
Thousand Birds Garden is one of the moats of the Japanese Imperial Palace, named after the lake here looks like a thousand birds spreading their wings. Whenever the cherry blossom season comes, more than 800 Yoshino and cherry blossoms are planted on both sides of the road, which is a rare cherry blossom feast.
Those cherry blossoms are planted on both sides of the river. On this side of the river is a cherry blossom path. If we walk along this cherry blossom path, we can see beautiful scenery on both sides. That morning, it was sunny and sunny, and the warm sunshine shone on the crown of cherry blossoms, which were as white as snow. Warm sunshine shines on tourists' faces through dense branches and leaves, and their faces are filled with smiles. Looking around, on both sides of a river, cherry trees grow in the grass beside the water, and the branches obliquely protruding from the side are like soft arms, reaching out to the slightly rippling water surface and swaying. Looking back at the cherry trees, there are green grass and small pieces of rape flowers in the green grass, and occasionally an unknown blue flower or a strange pine tree is exposed. Above the blue sky and white clouds, under the blue sky and above the clear water, cherry blossoms are in full bloom, so gorgeous and brilliant.
In the quiet river, the warmth of the years flows. Couples row boats on the water. Sometimes they paddle to the middle of the water, stop the oars, hug each other and let the boat float in the wind. Sometimes I row to the shore and reach out to touch the flowers hanging in front of me. It is very close to the flowers, and it seems to be a sweet talk. What a wonderful time, what a happy and sweet moment. I only hate that this time is not the right time. I am bound in a fixed time and I am bound in a limited space.
Cherry blossoms became the witness of their love; Cherry blossoms make their love trip so romantic. Perhaps in their view, they are wandering in the painting. Outside the painting, it seems to us that they have made wonderful embellishments to the painting in front of us. "You are standing on the bridge watching the scenery, and the people watching the scenery are watching you upstairs. The bright moon decorated your window, and you decorated other people's dreams. " This poem by Bian is well interpreted here. Inside and outside the painting, the people in and outside the painting are drunk.
The fellow tourists are as excited as I am, all running with cameras and mobile phones, looking for their suitable positions. I ran back and forth on the river bank, and every cherry tree told me to stop and linger. I'm afraid of missing a beautiful picture. I'm afraid of missing a cherry tree. I approached them one by one, and they embraced me with joy. Look, the shapes of all kinds of trees, tall, short, stout, thin, small, straight, curved, straight, horizontal, open like an umbrella, twisted like a beauty, and so on, shocked me. Looking from a distance, on the other side of the river, cherry trees are distinct, and bloom is full of trees, which fall like auspicious clouds and are covered with snow. Walking on the road, colorful flowers are flying above my head, shaking in front of my eyes and emitting a faint fragrance around me. I'm drunk, really drunk.
This trip to Sakura in Japan finally came true. In the blooming season, I walked into the wonderful world of cherry blossoms, saw the most beautiful cherry blossoms in the world and felt the happiness in life.
My traveling companion and I tried our best to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the cherry blossom country, and everyone had a good time.
postscript
Three years ago, when the cherry blossoms were in full bloom, I was lucky enough to go to Fusang to feel the beauty of the cherry blossoms, which I will never forget. At present, the country is closed, and I can only slowly recall the time when I was intoxicated. Through the tunnel of time, it seems to be back under a foreign cherry tree.
Thank you for your appreciation!
