Nirasaki & Katsunuma, Yamanashi (April 9th)


Wanizuka-no-sakura on the way to Jindai-zakura in Nirasaki, Yamanashi.
(王仁塚の桜)

I went to go see an old cherry tree named "Jindai-zakura" in Nirasaki, Yamanashi.
The tree is famous because it is said that it is nearly 2000 years old!
I used JR's Seishun-18-kippu, the JR's one day free pass.


Quite a few nice cherry trees were in Jissou-ji Temple.


Here is the Jindai-zakura in Jissou-ji Temple.



Another shot of Jindai-zakura.






Lots of people were visiting the temple.


I stopped by Katsunuma-budoukyou sta. on the way back home.




Lots of nice cherry trees were planted by the railroad.


The tulips found in the yard near the station.


I walked around the Katsunuma area and found some peach trees.


Yamanashi is famous for its peach.
