Welcome to the cherry blossom festival.
Last week I went to Goryokaku towel and Matsumae for saw Cherry blossom,
in Japanese call おはなみ,
Fort Goryokaku (五稜郭, Goryōkaku) is a massive, star shaped, Western
style citadel, which was built in the last years of the Edo Period for the defense of
Hakodate against the imperialist threat posed by the Western powers.
A few years later, the fort became the site of a civil war between an army of
the shogunate and the superior troops of the newly established Meiji government.
But today is a place with a story of its history and beauty, especially
the cherry blossoms bloom. The Goryokaku when you go up the tower,
you will find the stars are caused by blooms of pink cherry blossoms.
They also found that the Japanese popular BBQ party under the cherry blossoms.
