Motoyawata : Cherry blossoms at Katsushika hachimangu and Mama river (葛飾八幡宮, 真間川)

Cherry blossoms were in full bloom.

I went to Katsushika Hachimangu shrine and Mama river to see cherry blossoms this year, too !

今年も葛飾八幡宮と真間川に桜を見てきました！満開でした！

It takes about 5 minutees walk from Motoyawata station to Katsushika Hachimangu shrine.

Red torii and cherry blossoms 🙂

赤い鳥居と桜。すてき。

Bell tower and cherry blossoms.

鐘楼と桜。これもすてき。

After that I went to Mama river. It took further 15 minutes walk from the shrine. Onigoe station might be closer.

そのあとは、真間川に。真間川へはここから１５分くらい。鬼越駅のほうが近いみたい。

Though the river is under repair, still it was beautiful.

あちこち工事中なのが残念なんだけれど、それでもきれい！

Keisei train and cherry blossoms. It is very popular photo spot 🙂
Many people waited for trains coming with their cameras :p

京成電車と桜が取れる写真スポット。この写真を撮ろうとたくさんの人が待ち構えてました(笑)

踏切と桜もいいなあ。

Certainly there’re many popular viewing cherry blossoms spots like Chidorigafuchi moat and Yasukuni shhrine, but I love such cherry blossoms making our daily life brilliant 🙂
