Yoyogi Park, one of Tokyo’s largest urban parks, offered a lively and spirited hanami experience this year.
Although this year’s cherry blossom season had been mostly cloudy and rainy, the sun came out on this day, casting a warm light over the trees in full bloom. The contrast between the delicate pink petals and the bright spring sunshine created a vibrant, cheerful atmosphere.
The park’s spacious lawns, wooded paths, and open plazas were filled with people enjoying picnics and conversation. It wasn’t just the blossoms that were in full bloom, so was the mood of the crowd. There was a sense of shared joy in the air, as friends, families, and visitors from around the world gathered beneath the trees.
Captured with the GR III, these photos reflect the lively side of hanami at Yoyogi Park, where nature and community come together in celebration. ■
東京を代表する大きな都市公園のひとつである代々木公園では、今年も活気に満ちた花見の風景が広がっていた。
今年の桜の時期は曇りや雨の日が多かったが、この日は太陽が顔を出し、満開の木々に暖かな光が差していた。淡いピンクの花びらと明るい春の陽射しの対比が、晴れやかで生き生きとした空気をつくっていた。
広い芝生、木々に囲まれた道、開放的な広場には、ピクニックや会話を楽しむ人々が集まっていた。満開だったのは桜だけではなく、そこにいる人々の気分も同じだった。友人、家族、世界中から訪れた人たちが木の下に集まり、空気の中には共有された喜びがあった。
GR IIIで撮影したこの写真では、自然と人々がともに祝う、代々木公園のにぎやかな花見の一面を記録した。■
