Hamamatsu Castle ๐ฐ
The lawn is dotted with many little plantain seeds, and even the sides of the mountain paths are lined with short houttuynia cordata. ๐๐ธ The vegetation is quite similar to that in China, but everything seems a bit smaller by a circle or two. ๐ฟ ๐บ๐There are many cherry blossom trees, and one of them has a sign that says "Somei Yoshino." This is the famous Yoshino cherry. Hamamatsu Castle is surrounded by 370 cherry trees, and late March to early April is when they are in full bloom. ๐๐ธ I wonder if I'll have the chance to come back and see the cherry blossoms next year? ๐ธ Climbing up the mountain path to the top, you'll find the so-called samurai castle. Ah, it's so small! Looking down from the castle, you can see a statue of Tokugawa Ieyasu, with his left hand holding a sword and his right hand holding some kind of emblem. ๐บ๐ A group of snow-white elderly Westerners are taking various photos under the guidance of a tour guide. ๐ฟ The admission ticket is 200 yen, but I was too lazy to buy it. My budget was all spent at the Kyorin-do pharmacy. ๐๐ธ I haven't really earned any money from Japanese companies, but I've already contributed to Japan's GDP with my purchases, haven't I? ๐ #Hamamatsu ๐ #Castle ๐ฐ #TokugawaIeyasu ๐ฟ
