Golden Week Part 1

Golden Week (April 29th - May 5th) is a week of national holidays every year. It's one of three weeks off, but the Spring weather means it's the best for travelling in Japan, unlike the sweltering humidity of Obon week in August, and the freezing weather of the New Years vacation.
Thus I had to seize my chance and do as much as possible with the time given, and I wanted to use the opportunity to take many pictures with my new camera ^^
 
Thursday 29th April
Xor and I took the Express train West to Chichibu to visit 芝桜の丘 (Shibazakuranooka or Cherry blossom hill). It's a carpet of different colour mossy Phlox Subulata, for the flower-loving readers.

At first, it heaved with rain- not a great start to my vacation- but later, the sky suddenly cleared and the unique pyramid-shaped mountain appeared from behind the mist:



Afterwards, we did some exploring in the local area.
