Around the middle of April the cherry blossoms bloomed in Aizu. Tsuruga Castle is a popular destination for Hanami, so one weekend me and my girlfriend had a picnic here.
The castle grounds were very crowded. Many people brought picnics, and there were many little shops and stands selling different foods.
When we were walking around we found a part of the castle wall with many people taking pictures. In the photograph above is the castle as well as several people with cameras. Me and my girlfriend also took a picture with the castle here.
We walked around the castle grounds and we found a part of the castle wall with fewer people. This part of the castle was quieter and more relaxed.
