Sakura in Akizuki (秋月), Asakura, Fukuoka

Yesterday, we went to Akizuki for hanami (cherry blossom viewing parties). Same as last year, hanami parties about 10 days earlier than usual. Here's cherry trees falling petals little by little. It was a cold day, so we didn't see many people enjoy having hanami parties there.

Roadside cherry blossoms in Sugi-no-baba (杉の馬場) Street that leads to the Akizuki Castle ruins.

Cherry trees grow in Nagayamon Gate at the site of Akizuki Castle ruins.

A few meter away from there, different food vendors sell frankfurter and Yakitori.
