Isanoura Lake

Monday, March 22, 2010

Today Landon and I hiked around Isanoura Lake which is 5 kilometers around (something like 3.3 miles). It's a beautiful lake lined with Cherry Blossom Trees. They are just beginning to bloom as you can see from the pictures. I learned of something really neat today. Each Cherry Blossom Tree was planted by a newly married couple and then marked with a wooden plaque that contained their names and the date in which the tree was planted. How romantic:) Also, if you catch a falling blossom in the palm of your hand, your wish is supposed to come true.
