In celebration of the arrival of spring, Japan 2 Earth (J2E) asked our partner companies and organizations to submit photos of cherry blossoms. Our partners have contributed beautiful photos from across the country. Check these out, and don't forget to read Part 1 and Part 2 if you missed them!
The first photo of Part 3 is a photo from Ajinomoto. It shows a cherry tree in full bloom behind the company's headquarters in Tokyo's Chuo Ward.
The next photo was submitted by Kobe Cruise. It shows cherry blossoms in Meriken Park as seem from the deck of the Luminous Kobe 2 cruise ship. The Luminous Kobe 2 (106 m, 4778 t) offers popular lunch and twilight cruises.
Next is a submission from TOKO Corporation. The photo was taken in Sera Kouzan Fureainosato, a park in central Hiroshima Prefecture renowned for its cherry trees. Every year, the company holds an event for employees and their families in the park during the Cherry Blossom Festival.
The last photo was submitted by GLAMPROOK. It was taken from the island of Umashima, the location of the GLAMPROOK Shimanami glamping resort. It shows cherries in bloom with the Kurushima Kaikyo Bridge of the Shimanami Kaido, the road connecting Hiroshima and Ehime Prefectures, in the background.
