Looks Like You Can See Cherry Blossoms

In spring, it seems you can see lots of cherry blossoms up in the mountain area.

Cherry blossom viewing while riding the bus. Lately, more people have apparently been getting on in front of the station, riding a full loop, and getting off back at the station, using it like a little scenic drive.

The views from evening into night look nice too.

They’re also planning to ask for nickname ideas for the bus and decide on a name. What would be good?

Lastly

This year’s cherry blossom forecast says they’ll start blooming around 3/25, with full bloom around 4/2. Walking from Koroen to Kurakuen-guchi, taking the train to Koyoen, then looping around by bus might be a nice plan.

Thank you, Pon-chan, for the information！！
