Let's go on an outing for plum-blossom viewing!

In Hiroshima,the plum trees have only partially blossomed so far.
You can enjoy plum-blossoms viewing in the Shukkeien Garden.

The plum trees will be in bloom until early March.

I went to the Shukkeien Garden last weekend and found some beautiful
plum-blossoms then.

I could not remember that when was the last time I went there,
so I felt as if I visited there for the first time and it was
fun walking in the garden.

The garden was bigger than I expected and also

it was a peaceful place with song of birds.

There are some benches in the garden,so you can have a long break there!!

Why don't you go on an outing for plum-blossom viewing?!
