Flowers in a Suwa shrine

February 17, 2020 (Mon.)

There is a Suwa shrine across from JR Nishi-nippori station in Arakawa ward (city), Tōkyō. It has some beautiful flowers, and we could see it from the station and train.

I was born and raised in Arakawa ward, and lived there until 2016. At that time, I was able to walk Nishi-nippori station about 20 minute, so I have been there many times.

When I went here in April, tulip flowers were blooming, and in June, hydrangea flowers were blooming. Both were very beautiful.
