Gunma Greenery Festival May 1, 2008

Gunma is hosting a national greenery fair this year, so there are floral displays in a lot of cities around the prefecture. Over spring break, we headed downtown to check out the flowers in Maebashi. Of course, since it was early April, there were plenty of sakura blossoming as well. I don’t have much to write today, so please enjoy the pictures.
