This photo captures what felt like a "children's train running through a tunnel of cherry blossoms" at Nishihirahata Park (Matsuda Cherry Blossom Festival).

This photo captures the moment a children's train enters a tunnel of cherry blossoms. The train, enveloped in cherry blossoms as it moves forward, creates a scene like a spring fairy tale. At Nishihirahata Park, where the Matsuda Cherry Blossom Festival is held, fully bloomed Kawazu cherry blossoms color the park's slopes, offering a vibrant spring landscape. Mount Fuji towers in the background, and on clear days, the contrast between the blue sky and the cherry blossoms is especially beautiful.Another charm is the variety of vantage points for photography, such as the park's elevated areas and staircases. Feel the breath of spring and be sure to capture it in your photos.
