Francois' Japan Blog by Francois, staff writer of japan-guide.com previous post index next post 2009/04/14 - Cherry Blossom Report: Kobe Sumaura Park April 14, 2009 - beyond peak Sumaura Park is located west of central Kobe. It consists of an upper area and a lower area. The upper area leads up a mountain, the lower area is flat along the mountain's base. There are approximately 3600 cherry trees between the two areas. There are very few cherry blossoms on the trees in the lower area. There is probably very little time left for the few cherry blossoms that remain. Only a handful of trees still have significant number of flowers. For somewhat better flowers, it is possible to go to the upper area of the park, though it is still significantly beyond peak. Cherry trees in the lower area are now mostly green A few remaining flowers on a tree in the lower area Trees are somewhat better along the mountain Cherry blossoms in the upper area Oji Zoo April 14, 2009 - end of season Oji Zoo has about 480 cherry trees lining the paths between the various animal exhibitions. When they are in bloom they make an impressive canopy. There is little left of the cherry blossom season at Oji Zoo. The flowers that once hung impressively overhead are now trampled over, as thousands of petals now cover the paths. Very few petals are still on the trees, and soon the ones on the ground will be swept away. Leafy cherry trees beside the zoo's elephant area A couple of flowers left on the branch Cherry blossom petals cover the zoo's walking paths Leafy boughs of a cherry tree at the zoo's entrance previous post index next post List of Posts: 2011/09/01 - Final Post 2011/05/09 - Cherry Blossom Report: Sapporo 2011/05/06 - Cherry Blossom Report: Hakodate 2011/04/22 - Cherry Blossom Report: Aizu 2011/04/21 - Cherry Blossom Report: Sendai 2011/04/16 - Cherry Blossom Report: Kyoto 2011/04/15 - Cherry Blossom Report: Osaka 2011/04/14 - Cherry Blossom Report: Kanazawa 2011/04/13 - Cherry Blossom Report: Yoshino 2011/04/12 - Cherry Blossom Report: Kyoto 2011/04/11 - Cherry Blossom Report: Tokyo 2011/04/08 - Cherry Blossom Report: Tokyo 2011/04/04 - Cherry Blossom Report: Kyoto 2011/04/03 - Cherry Blossom Report: Fukuoka 2011/04/01 - Cherry Blossom Report: Kagoshima 2011/03/31 - Cherry Blossom Report: Kumamoto 2011/03/30 - Cherry Blossom Report: Tokyo 2011/02/11 - Shiretoko Fantasia 2011 2011/02/11 - Asahikawa Winter Festival - by night 2011/02/10 - Asahikawa Winter Festival - by day 2011/02/09 - Sapporo Snow Festival 2011 - by night 2011/02/08 - Otaru Yuki Akari no Michi 2011 2011/02/07 - Sapporo Snow Festival 2011 - by day 2010/12/31 - Travel Highlights 2010 2010/11/26 - Autumn Color Report: Osaka 2010/11/26 - Autumn Color Report: Kyoto 2010/11/25 - Autumn Color Report: Kyoto 2010/11/24 - Autumn Color Report: Kyoto 2010/11/23 - Autumn Color Report: Kyoto 2010/11/16 - Autumn Color Report: Tokyo 2010/11/05 - Autumn Color Report: Yamadera 2010/10/27 - Autumn Color Report: Kuju 2010/10/26 - Autumn Color Report: Kirishima 2010/04/10 - Cherry Blossom Report: Kyoto 2010/04/09 - Cherry Blossom Report: Kanazawa 2010/04/08 - Cherry Blossom Report: Osaka 2010/04/07 - Cherry Blossom Report: Kyoto 2010/04/05 - Cherry Blossom Report: Tokyo 2010/04/01 - Cherry Blossom Report: Tokyo 2010/03/30 - Cherry Blossom Report: Tokyo 2010/03/26 - Cherry Blossom Report: Nagoya 2010/03/25 - Cherry Blossom Report: Nagasaki 2010/03/22 - Cherry Blossom Report: Kumamoto 2010/03/21 - Cherry Blossom Report: Fukuoka 2010/01/23 - Wakakusa Yamayaki 2009/12/31 - Travel Highlights 2009 2009/11/26 - Autumn Color Report: Kyoto 2009/11/25 - Autumn Color Report: Kyoto Light Up 2009/11/23 - Autumn Color Report: Nara 2009/11/22 - Autumn Color Report: Kyoto Ohara 2009/11/21 - Autumn Color Report: Kyoto 2009/11/18 - Autumn Color Report: Kyoto Higashiyama 2009/11/16 - Autumn Color Report: Kyoto Kurama 2009/11/04 - Autumn Color Report: Hakone 2009/10/07 - Autumn Color Report: Hachimantai 2009/10/06 - Autumn Color Report: Mount Akita-Komagatake 2009/09/28 - Autumn Color Report: Kamikochi 2009/09/24 - Autumn Color Report: Oze National Park 2009/06/18 - Biking the Shimanami Kaido 2009/06/01 - Gunkanjima 2009/04/15 - Cherry Blossom Report: Osaka 2009/04/15 - Cherry Blossom Report: Kyoto 2009/04/14 - Cherry Blossom Report: Himeji 2009/04/14 - Cherry Blossom Report: Kobe 2009/04/13 - Cherry Blossom Report: Kanazawa 2009/04/12 - Cherry Blossom Report: Kyoto 2009/04/05 - Cherry Blossom Report: Yoshino 2009/04/04 - Cherry Blossom Report: Kyoto 2009/04/03 - Cherry Blossom Report: Nara 2009/04/02 - Cherry Blossom Report: Kobe 2009/04/01 - Cherry Blossom Report: Kyoto 2009/03/31 - Cherry Blossom Report: Himeji 2009/03/30 - Cherry Blossom Report: Kyoto 2009/03/29 - Cherry Blossom Report: Tokyo 2009/03/26 - Cherry Blossom Report: Tokyo 2009/01/19 - Bears in Hokkaido 2008/12/03 - Autumn Color Report: Kamakura 2008/10/06 - Autumn Color Report: Lake Akan 2008/08/18 - Miyajima Trip 2008/06/09 - Post Towns 2008/05/08 - Baseball Game 2008/04/14 - ASIMO and Aoyama Cemetery 2008/04/08 - Ninja Restaurant
