  1. I returned from a three-week trip to Japan a couple of weeks ago. It was my first time in the country. I managed to catch maybe not full blooms but "beautiful enough" blooms in Osaka and Kanazawa in the final week of my trip. I enjoyed the trip a lot even the days without blooms. Japan is very beautiful. I wanna go back. Edit: Photo #6 is my favorite. 😊

  2. Hi Sunny, firstly all the photos were great , but my favourite 😍 is photo 2. The large tree looked so beautiful, and your choice of music certainly made it even better. Keep up your great content. 😊

  3. I think that as you get older, you come to appreciate the beauty and transience of cherry blossoms more.

  4. 毎回言ってますが、映像のチョイスと編集が素晴らしい
    6枚の写真いずれも良い写真ですが、5枚目6枚目の構図と
    6枚目のルノアールの絵画のような構成が特に好きです
    でも.4枚目の、舞台の書き割りのようなドーンとした桜も立派ですし
    3枚目の業平桜の十輪寺は本当に風情があって、全然無知な私に
    良い場所を教えていただき、感謝しています

  5. 良いところだけを見る優しさや平和が溢れており、素敵な動画です。
    👍押しました。

  6. 日本語で「花筏(はないかだ)」と言う素敵な言葉があります。桜の花びらが水辺に浮かび、まるで筏のように浮かぶ様子を表す言葉です。

  7. 桜は日本人が訳もなく心でも見ることができる美しく儚い花です🌸個人的には”業平桜”がジーンとくるのですが、一枚の写真を選ぶとしたら6番かな😉水面に花びらが積もって小川がピンク色に染まる幾つかの場所も綺麗ですよ😎

    🎵大きな”栗”や~‼(←日本人にしかわからないボケ)💦😁😂

  8. 動画の構図が良いですね。
    天竜寺に行ったら、天井の「雲龍図」を、動画で撮影して欲しかったですね。皆さん庭園しか撮らないので、残念です。
    ただ、雲龍図(法堂)参拝休止日が有るので、注意が必要です。

  9. サニーさん 京都の桜の名所紹介ありがとうございました。
    天龍寺は、秋の紅葉の時期に何度も行きましたが、桜は初めて見ました。
    新型カメラの調子はいかがですか?

  12. Thank you for showing this video introducing cherry blossoms, and for sending a message not to touch what may be the only cherry blossoms like this one!!!

    Amazing!!!
    この様な桜を紹介する動画で、唯一かも知れない桜には、触らない様にと発信して頂き有難う御座います!!!

    素晴らしい!!!

  13. I have never visited Kyoto with the cherry blossoms in bloom. Even though I am Japanese! It is very beautiful scenery!

  14. Ariwara no Narihira is famous for being a master of Japanese' poetry, but he is even more famous for one thing: he was an incredibly handsome man, and there is a legend that he slept with 3,733 women.

  15. 桜の美しさも相まってとても気持ちのいい動画だった。
    いつもほどよく力が抜けていて自然体で小さなユーモアが散りばめられている。
    観ていて心が軽やかになる気持ちのいいチャンネルです。
