Kousa Dogwood in Hokuto, Yamanashi・ヤマボウシ｜山梨県北杜市
While traveling to Nagano Prefecture, I stopped at Ciao Café in rural Hokuto, Yamanashi. Its simple outdoor seating—especially welcome when traveling with my border collie—rests beneath a large kousa dogwood covered in pale pink and creamy-white bracts. This short post shares a few photographs from the visit and a closer look at the tree known in Japan as yamabōshi (ヤマボウシ).
