During sakura season, the weather dude on the news visits and introduces different places while giving his weather reports.
The other night, Saginuma, an area of Kanagawa, was introduced.
There is a slope called Harumachizaka (literally Spring waiting slope) near the station
I thought the name of the slope was cool
Online it said that a total of 150 trees line both sides of the slope, but it seemed like less
Some of the side streets also had trees
Sadly many of the trees have reached 50 years, so for safety purposes, they will chop most of them down and replant new sakura trees in its place
There were several that had already been cut down
Saginuma isn’t nearby to where we live, but I’m glad I got to check out this place.
