Cherry blossoms in full bloom and Himeji Castle

I walked straight from Himeji Station and arrived at Himeji Castle. The cherry blossoms were in full bloom, and many people were enjoying cherry blossom viewing in the park in front of the castle, spreading out their lunch boxes on blue tarps.
There were many foreign tourists, and there was a long line at the ticket counter.
It is one of five castles designated as national treasures out of the 12 castle towers still standing from the Edo period.
The view of the cherry blossoms in full bloom and the castle was spectacular, and I took pictures from every angle.

Chikushian

Born in Uwajima, Ehime Prefecture in 1950, he grew up in Uwajima until he was 12 years old.
He moved to Fukuoka Prefecture in 1962. He was a member of the photography club for three years during high school, and was involved in photography, DPE, and photo exhibitions. At the time, he was taking black and white photographs.
During his university and working years, he took a break from serious photography and only took family photos as a hobby, but after retiring he resumed photography and entering photo contests, and about 10 years have passed since then.
I am currently 74 years old and recently I have been taking mainly landscape and airplane photographs.
