Ōmiya-hachiman-gū
Yesterday we went by bus to Ōmiya-hachiman-gū in Suginami-ku, mainly to check out the flea market which turned out to be smaller than exepected. I did find a だんご3兄弟 (dango 3-kyōdai) keitai strap for ¥100 at a stand selling dead stock of old toys.
I also took the opportunity to take a few pictures. I'm not sure if that tree is ume (plum) or sakura (cherry), as both species' seasons are currently overlapping (though sakura has yet to show up in most places), but the bonsai display was all ume.

Tes photos sont magnifiques! Le printemps s'annonce merveilleux en regardant ces arbres en fleurs. J'en ai profité pour voir tes autres photos sur flickr... c'est vraiment super de voir en images ce pays et ces villes que tu explores et ces milieux urbains que tu fréquentes au quotidien. Bravo ;-)

Omiya-hachiman-gu is soooo natsukashii man!
When I lived in Nakano I used to ride my bike around there. Along the Zenpukuji river there are so many beautiful sakura trees and very few people doing hanami. It's one of my favorites places in Spring but I haven't been there in ages.
Thanks for reminding me of this place!
