🌸 From City Skylines to Countryside Petals
Spring in Japan is pure harmony — where modern life and nature bloom together. My journey began in Yokohama, gliding above the bay on the Yokohama Air Cabin cable car, watching cherry trees and city lights sparkle below. From the top, the view stretched across Minato Mirai, the Ferris wheel, and the sea — a perfect mix of calm and color. 🌇
Wandering through Yamashita Park and Sankeien Garden, I found every corner wrapped in soft pink petals. The scent of sakura floated through the air, blending with the ocean breeze — truly the essence of Japanese spring. 🌸
The next day, I took a scenic train to Minamiashigara–Nuda, where the countryside unveiled its quiet beauty. Rows of full-bloom cherry blossoms lined the riverside, their petals drifting like snow. In the distance, Mount Ashigara framed the perfect backdrop, while locals shared smiles and hanami picnics under the trees. 🌿
As I watched petals fall in the golden afternoon light, I realized — Japan’s charm lies in these moments between stillness and wonder, city and nature, past and present. ✨
🌸 Travel Tips:
• Ride the Yokohama Air Cabin for the best skyline views.
• Visit Sankeien Garden in late March for early blossoms.
• From Yokohama, take the train via Odawara to Daiyūzan Station for Minamiashigara–Nuda.
• Bring a camera and arrive early morning for peaceful shots.
• End your day in a local onsen — the perfect spring escape.
