Last week we took a very short bike ride to Yakuoin (\u85ac\u738b\u9662) to see the blooming tree peonies (\u30dc\u30bf\u30f3). We were not alone as it was a holiday–Showa no Hi (\u662d\u548c\u306e\u65e5). Even with the crowds, the scene was very nice. Not only were many of the peonies at their peak, but a late blooming sakura<\/I> was snowing its petals on us.<\/p>\n

Yakuoin is between Takadanobaba and Shimo Ochiai Stations on the north side of Shin Mejiro Doori. For more details see A Flower Lover’s Guide to Tokyo<\/I><\/a>.<\/p>\n

The jizo<\/a> had a nice view from the top of the stairs.<\/p>\n
