May 18, 2000. Cherry blossoms at their best. Flowers in the mountain Niseko, Hokkaido.

Shot at the Niseko Panorama Line The maximum temperature of the daytime has risen over 20 degrees. Though flowers in level lands have passed their peaks, they are at their best on the slope of the mountain. The color of fresh green leaves and wild cherry blossoms makes a vivid contrast with remaining snow and the blue sky.
