This year’s winter has been warm, and all kinds of plants just can’t wait for spring to arrive, so they’ve already started blooming (*^^)v
At Shinrin Park too, there were some places where Kobano-mitsuba-tsutsuji azaleas were in bloom↓

Enter from the entrance by the management office, cross Midori Bridge, keep going for a little while, and you’ll find them on your right.
Beyond the azaleas, you can see the cityscape of Nishinomiya↓

Every flower had just opened and was sparkling↓

So, I went to check them out at Hirota Shrine too, but not a single one had bloomed yet ^_^;↓

When they bloom, it looks like this↓

Apparently, around 20,000 Kobano-mitsuba-tsutsuji azaleas bloom at Hirota Shrine !(^^)! I’ll come back to take more photos (*^^)v
