I failed to catch the Plum blossoms during my first and second year due mainly to bad timing. Finally get to see them during my third, not to mention last year, at Ibaraki.
The Plum blossoms come in a variety of shades. You can pick up a pamphlet at the entrance which will explain the many different types of Plum blossoms that grow inside the park grounds.

| A more vibrant shade of pink |
No matter how many times I go to this park the view from the top of the stairs always gets to me. It looks so typically Japanese, all tranquil and eye-pleasing.
Later on we had a lunch at a seafood place. To those of you that have never tried eating raw seafood, try doing it in Japan. It will change your life, like, for real.

That slight bump you see on the ground in the photo above is actually a grave. Yes, a dead person lies underneath that. Kind of creepy that the graveyard of past rulers have now become a park.

After we were done at the Kairakuen we went to a different park where they had the above attraction. I'm not sure what it is or what it represents. Looks kind of Aztec-y, don't you think?
