I went to cherry blossom viewing on March 27th.
The cherry blossoms were in full bloom on March 27th last year.
However, this year, we decided to hold the cherry blossom viewing project about a week late, when not even a single cherry blossom had bloomed.
The past week has been cold and there were many rainy days, but the 27th was miraculously sunny and warm.

Cherry blossom viewing will be held at Kougaya Park from 11am.
About an hour beforehand, four volunteers gathered at the supermarket to buy and set up.
The table I brought along came in handy.

It starts at 11 o’clock

I wasn’t sure how many people would show up because I had just announced the date and location on the mailing list.
People from Lifelong Classes, existing Japanese language classes, and the new Japanese language class “Nihongo Club” also participated, and the bonds were strengthened.

Kogaya Park is located on a small hill with a two-tiered top and is said to be a famous spot for cherry blossom viewing.
We set up on a low summit to avoid the effects of the wind.
About 6 people gathered at 11 o’clock, huh? As I was thinking about this, I received a call about 30 minutes later.
The others seemed to be waiting for us on the high summit.

We will overcome this incident (?) and continue to enjoy the warm and refreshing cherry blossom viewing without cherry blossoms.

The commemorative group photo was taken around 3pm, and the event lasted about 4 hours.
A total of 25 people who are involved in multicultural coexistence gathered and it was a fun gathering.
Thank you to everyone who participated!
I would like to enjoy it under the cherry blossoms in full bloom next year.
