Spring is at the corner.
It is getting brighter and the daytime is getting longer. It was very cold a few days ago, but it was rather warm today.
The Ume (Japanese plum) blossom is its peak now at Hanegi Park in Umegaoka, Setagaya ward in western Tokyo. The Setagaya local government and local communities hold Ume Festival now (early February – late February).
There are about 650 Ume trees in the park. Most of them open white and red flowers now. It was so beautiful and it smelled well.
Thousands of people gathered in the park. They included old men and women in the wheelchairs.
There were many open sky stalls of flowers and foods.
Special market was also held at Umegaoka station of the Odakyu Line. Local people (as well as the local community) were enjoying the festival.
