Cherry blossoms at night in Matsumoto castle
Went to Matsumoto castle at night to see cherry blossoms. Cherry blossoms in Matsumoto castle are showed in public even at night to 21:00 for a week after 3 days latter than when they declair the cherry blossoms in bloom.
When we look at Matsumoto castle, it looks black in color, so it's also called "Ujo" ( Raven castle ).
Click this pic above to find a flute concert.
I wondered if there were some drunk people around the bottom of the cherry blossom trees there as is often the case with Japanese people at this time of the year around cherry blossom trees but didn't find any. Probably it's a taboo for them to do that because Matsumoto castle is a national treasure.
Carp in the cannel. Castles in Japan are often surrounded by cannels. It's very cold there in Matsumoto in winter though they have less snow than in Hakuba. Carp must have stayed deep at the bottom for long. Time for them to show up.

Enoden vol.3
Took a movie clip from Enoshima to Koshigoe which is the same place but opposite direction from the clip in "Enoden vol.1" Click this pic below to see the clip.
This time sunshine didn't bother me to take this movie. Anyway, there's nothing to give warnings to people about trains even around where the Enoden train gets in the road!! Trains give warning though.
((((((((((( Faaaaaaaaaannnnnnnn ))))))))))
Maybe people could know something is coming close as they can find a track there?

Origin of Himekawa River
As it's high time to see some adonis flowers at this time of the year, I went to the origin of Himekawa River close to our place.
Found adonis flower. Their roots are something poisonous, they are not for meals.
Going deeper ahead. Some comfortable feelings to walk on a sand path reached my feet.
Getting closer to origin.
Some footpathes equipped, you can walk around.
Origin. Water comes out from nowhere and start running.
Water comes from another direction as well.
Finally all get together to start their trip to Japan sea.

Enoden vol.2 Spring point
Pay attention on the point when you watch the clip by clicking the picture below.
It seems that most points in Enoden tracks are spring points. They guide trains where the train should go on. In the case of this picture above, the point guided a train which came from the opposite side to the other track from the train I was on. When the train I got on went on, you were probably affraid of the point shouting loud "ewwwww" because it still opened to the other track if you didn't know how a spring point worked. If I dare say, probably it's like a train can go on by setting the point by its weight to go on.
Enoden trains are in service every 12 minutes. And it's a singler track. Which means they need to have a place to escape every 6 minutes on the way, and actually they set them pretty good. Hase, Inamuragasaki, Enoshima and Kugenuma station have escape tracks and Minegahara traffic light center also has one. Enoden trains meet another one for opposite direction at all the places above.
To be continued.

Making a layout #31 China pottery houses
Someone I met through internet sent me some china pottery houses.
Tried to put them to see how it looks. As I plan to make a tram track around there, have to decide what kind of rails I choose.

Still active - an cylindrical post
Rustic but very interesting old post. Found it along a narrow path just 1 street deeper from the main road in Kamakura. Wonder how many are still in use in Japan.
