Who knows what we can expect from the upcoming sakura season in Japan this year but we’re hoping that the situation will at least allow for a stroll under some blossoms. We’ll just have to wait and see.
In the meantime we’re going back two years to a trip to Wakayama Prefecture and the city of Tanabe on the beautiful Kii Peninsula.
These pictures of cherry blossom were taken around the ootorri gate of Oyunohara, the original site of the Kumano Hongu Taisha. The current site of the Kumano Hongu Taisha - the grand shrine to which Kumano Kodo pilgrimages gravitate - is a little further north of Oyunohara.
