Although the weather in Japan can be unpredictable, especially as spring approaches, don’t let it stop you from exploring!

At Keikyu Miurakaigan Station Square, the early variety of cherry blossoms made their yearly appearance and many made it out to enjoy the blooms on a nice day in early March.

The area is about a 40-minute drive from Yokosuka Naval Base.

Today’s Speakin’ Japanese is:

“Kyowa atatakai desune!” = It’s warm today!

“Kyowa..” = today is, “atatakai” = warm, “desune” = it is, isn’t it?

Spring has come, so let’s go out and enjoy all the beauty and fun activities!
