Greetings! Just when I thought it was becoming warmer and spring was officially on its way, the weather report said that it may snow this week! Wait a second.. aren’t the cherry blossoms in Japan supposed to be in bloom in just a few weeks time?! Well when they are, I would sure like to stop by Kokura Castle this year. Most of my students have recommended that area for viewing the cherry blossoms. Do you have any other recommendations for the Kokura area? Shoot me an email if you do!
