Late April and May is absolutely one of the most delightful months in Japan (I believe!). As spring arrives, the country gets colourful with spring flowers and green.
I have recently moved to Miyazaki prefecture- Kyushu (from Tokyo) and in my free time I have been exploring its wonderful rich nature, green mountains, and beautiful coastlines.
This is a photo of my recent adventures, I found a rare sightscape flowing in Hyuga city (just south of Nobeoka). Famous for its beaches and great surf, this port and fishing city has created an interesting version of the custom of flying carp streamers. Here in “Hyuga no Kuni” (which translates to “country that faces the sun’), they lets carp streamers swim in the city’s main river - basking in the sun (like they do in Yamaguchi).!!!! This spectacular celebration of carp streamers swimming in the water has been started since 2008 for the purpose of local revitalization and celebrate the main livelihood of this area- the river and the sea!!
This unique event was one of the most beautiful things I have seen, and one I highly recommend putting on your bucket list!!!
I would love to hear what you have been up during the spring season!!!
