Koinobori carp streamers are hanging over Shukugawa.
(Thanks to Maemin-san for the tip.)
Here they are↓
These photos were taken on Tuesday, April 7.
According to Maemin, a Nishitsu reader, they’ve been up since Monday, April 6〜
Here’s the location on the map↓
Just south of Hankyu Shukugawa Station, around the area between the station and Yamate Kansen.
Every year, Nishitsu writes about the koinobori over Shukugawa, but in past years we’ve often posted the article around April 14, so this may be one of the earliest appearances ever.
People passing by were also saying, “Oh, koinobori. That’s early!”〜
As for Shukugawa, the cherry blossoms have now passed full bloom and are gradually starting to fall. I had the impression that the koinobori usually go up after most of the cherry blossoms have scattered, so thinking about it that way, they really are quite early this year.
They were also up by Hokobashi Bridge near Shukugawa Public Hall〜. I forgot to take a photo with the bridge💦
It might be pretty rare to enjoy the cherry blossoms and koinobori together. It’s also nice that we’ll be able to enjoy them for a while, from now until around May〜
