Saturday, I took the train to Shizuoka City to attend the Shizuoka Festival. I have attended this festival and other festivals at this venue, Sumpu Castle Park. The park is huge and is usually a nice place to visit.
Leading up to the park entrance, the parade participants were lining up.
On the far right in this picture, you can see a crowd of people entering.
After entering the park, I was shocked by how crowded it was. The park is huge, so I thought I could keep walking and the crowd would thin out. I walked all the way across and left by a different entrance/exit. It was kind of scary. I was wearing a mask as were many of the others, but everyone was so close to me. The other thing I thought of was, what if there is an earthquake. Anyway, I was glad to get out of the park and go home.
Wow! These could have been pictures taken in Tokyo's Ueno Park! Last night I went to a nearby pond that is flanked by cherry trees. They were so beautiful against the moonlit sky. There were only a handful of people there at that time of the day. I guess it is rather crowded during the day. I hope you didn't pick up any nasty bugs.

This looks like such fun. And with the trees in blossom, perfect timing!
