Seeing the ume plum blossom in Dazaifu Tenmangu

Yesterday I went to see the ume (梅) blossom festival in Dazaifu Tenmangu, a Shinto shrine in Dazaifu, Fukuoka. This year, plum trees blooming about a month earlier than usual. The shrine's ume trees are in full bloom. I've very enjoyed the blossom festival.
