KYOKO SEKINE - HOTEL JOURNALIST

恒例の新宿御苑でのお花見をしました。
今年は少し早めの3月末、入園時は5分咲きでしたが、
余りの気温上昇に、御苑を出る3時間後には7分咲きに･･･。
自然というのは正直で凄い。

御苑は東京で最も好きな庭園、貴重な木々が樹齢を重ねています。
桜もステキですが、新緑は勢いがあってとても美しい時。
間もなくその時期がやってきます。

Cherry Blossoms Are Full Bloom Again This Year And I Feel Excited!

I enjoyed cherry-blossom viewing at Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden
as it’s customary for me every year.

This year, it was the end of March and it’s a little bit earlier.
When I entered, it was a 50% bloom. But having temperature increased rapidly,
when I exited 3 hours later, it turned a 70% bloom.
Nature responses according to the changes and I think it’s great.

I think the garden is the best in Tokyo and love it very much.
Precious trees grow with ages. The cherry blossoms are beautiful,
but the season of new green leaves has a momentum and is beautiful as well.
The season will come soon.
