Erin and I spent our spring vacation up north in snowy Hakodate. While the weather was cold and windy, the view of Hakodate city from the mountain truly lives up to the hype.
This year the cherry blossoms came late and went quickly. Erin and I found a canal lined with cherry trees near the station in Gifu two weeks ago.
We had to wait another week for the cherry blossoms to come out in Komatsu and Kanazawa, but when they did, it was spectacular!
