One of the first things on my list to visit was to visit the Morioka Castle Ruins Park! It’s located only 20 mins by foot from the station. I knew that most places in Japan at the time already had their Sakura trees bloomed-out but, up north they always bloom a bit later. The park was filled with beautiful sakura trees in bloom, when looking up at the grey and cold skies it sort of took the away the gloomy mood. I went up the steps to see it from a better view and it looked like a forest of pink! Such a beautiful view!!

I tried to blog in real time when I visited Japan in June, and I found I barely had enough time to sort through my photos at night after spending the days trying to see as much as possible.

Totally understand, I take to much pictures so sorting takes a long time for me. 🙂

I am normally exhausted after a day of traveling so I was impressed with the commitment to real time blogging. LoL

Great photos. Is that some sort of mausoleum in the second to last photo?

A good friend of mine is a volunteer tour guide in Morioka. She took me there and if I remember correctly there used to be a statue on the top of that. I can’t remember clearly but I asked her the same thing
