Spring delight in a country side

Had a short trip to suburb of Himeji by local train for my boy's fencing practice yesterday. It was beautiful spring day, and we visited the small town for the first time.

While my boy has a practice, I strolled the town and it was very fun! The town has an old major road and historical ambiance. Old homes, a shrine, a temple, small snack shop (dagashiya), a river, and colourful flowers - I really had a great time for a while.

Look at the mountain of the photo. There are fluffy light pink spots in some areas. These are all cherry blossoms (yamazakura). The mountain makes me so peaceful and happy feeling.
