March 20, 2000. Atami City in Shizuoka Prefecture. Ooshima-zakura in Baien through Kinomiya station.

I took it on fine day around Kinomiya station at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Although "Atami Ume Festival" was over on March 12, Osima-zakura is now at it's best along the street, from plum garden to Kinomiya shrine. It blooms early in March, you can see it by mid-March from Kinomiya station. People can enjoy cherry blossoms much longer than other area in Atami because it has some kind of cherry trees, Atami-zakura, which blooms at the beginning of February, Oshima-zakura and Someiyoshino.
