The Tenen Hiking Trail connects Kenchoji Temple in Kita-Kamakura with Zuisenji Temple in the east of the city, leading mostly along the ridge of the hills. I had come back to Kamakura intending to do the 3 hiking trails listed on that page but it was not great because of the melting snow that made the trail very muddy. I ended the day in Enoshima instead.
Mukojima-Hyakkaen Garden in Sumida City is the only surviving flower garden from the Edo Period in Tokyo. There currently is a plum festival to celebrate the blossoms of the many plum trees in the garden.
The day after the snowstorm,/ I went to the Hamarikyu Garden. The snow was already melting.
The Tokyo University of the Arts in Ueno is one of the oldest art schools in Japan. For one week at the end of January, they opened their doors to the public for an exhibition of the works of the graduating students.
There was a snowstorm in Tokyo a few days ago. I went to the Koishikawa Korakuen Garden to see how it looks in white.
