写真は、2025年2月23日の皇居東御苑の梅とサザンカです。ほとんどの木が満開となっています。 Photos show plum tress and a sasanqua tree in the Imperial Palace East Gardens on February 23.【Bon appétit !】 The Imperial Palace East Gardens are the former site of Edo Castle's innermost circles, the honmaru ("main circle") and ninomaru ("secondary circle"). None of the main buildings remain today, but the moats, walls, entrance gates and several guardhouses still exist. In place of the castle's former palace buildings in ninomaru at the foot of the hill, a nice Japanese-style garden has been created.(https://www.japan-guide.com/e/e3018.html)
