Sakura in Yamanashi’s Hokuto Countryside – A Palette of Pinks and Whites
山梨県北杜市の里山に咲く桜「淡紅と白の春色パレット」
Springtime at Suisha-no-Sato Koen (Waterwheel Village Park) in Hokuto, Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan, is a serene experience where vibrant pink and white cherry blossoms frame a gentle mountain stream that powers the park’s traditional waterwheel. This peaceful rural landscape captures the timeless beauty of sakura and the enduring charm of the Japanese countryside.
Arriving early in the morning, before other visitors appeared, gave me the rare opportunity to slow down and fully take in the scene: the vivid colors of the blossoms, the subtle floral aromas, birds chirping in the trees, the whisper of a soft breeze, the creaking of the waterwheel behind me, and the gentle murmur of the stream as it powered the wheel.
This kind of setting restores my spirit and recharges my motivation, thus giving me the strength to endure another week in the daily grind of life in the Tokyo metropolis before I can escape again to explore another quiet corner of Japan’s countryside with my border collie.
