I've been to many places with Sakura blossoms this spring. But this is, indeed, the first time to enjoy a Sakura festival this year. I was all into photography, not at all into Sakura festivals. This is why I'm visiting Ooka River of Yokohama to see the Sakura Festival now.

Along the both sides of the river stand the Sakura trees. This is a place where you can shoot the Sakura blossoms and the red train together.

It rained off and on. It was really early in the morning, but I found quite a few people enjoying the Sakura blossoms and the food from the stalls. The best food was a soup of wild boar. The meat was soft and hot enough to cheer me up in the cold rain.

I thought that the eating tour of Sakura festival is also a nice option to enjoy the spring in Japan.
