"Yamaboshi (=Kousa dogwood)" Japanese Restaurant
I had lunch at "Yamaboshi". You can see both lake Kawaguchi and Mt. Fuji from inside. All dishes are homemade. Very healthy. I like this restaurant.
This is Shokado-bento, 1,365yen.
It contains chawan-mushi (=savory steamed egg),
gratin, omlet, salad, jelly, tempra, etc.
Banana mousse

O-hanami 2012
I went to Arakura Sengen Shrine in Fujiyoshida city today.
It must be the most popular place for taking a "Mt. Fuji & sakura & pagoda" picture. The front cover picture of the 1st edition of Lonely Planet Discover Japan was taken at the exact same place.

But I am wondering when it was taken, because if it's April there must be more snow on Mt. Fuji....

O-hanami 2012
I went to Nirasaki and Hokuto city for o-hanami (cherry blossom viewing).
Wanitsuka-no-sakura was a bit late for its full bloom, but still beautiful. When it's clear, you can see Mt. Yatsugatake over the tree.
Jindai-zakura in Jisso-ji temple is said to be almost 2,000 years old! It's one of the three big cherry trees in Japan, and is considered as a national natural treasure. A group consisting of tree doctors has been maintaining its root and surround. http://www.unshouen.co.jp/cn9/pg42.html
There are a lot of cherry trees in the temple. This shidare (=weeping) cherry is from Fukushima. From other one of the three big cherry trees, Miharu-takizakura. http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E4%B8%89%E6%98%A5%E6%BB%9D%E6%A1%9C

Last week (16th-20th) even the base area had snow a lot. I hope he's shelter himself from the severe weather.
