Where to find Peach blossom?

Any recommendations where to see some peach blossom in the Kanto area? I usually visit Koga for its peach blossom festival, but would like to see other areas too.

I´m a german girl living in the center of Tokyo, but my true love belongs to the countryside of Japan (especially Chiba and Hokkaido). I love traveling in Japan and explore hidden areas.
I want to help people with my articles to get in touch with the Japanese culture and all the beautiful places you can explore.

    I'm sorry I am late to answer. Definitely Higashichichibu, it is quite rightly nicknamed "an earthly paradise" but unfortunately they are passed their peak now. They were way early this year. https://insaitama.com/earthly-paradise-hanamomo-no-sato/

    Sakura Castle Park in Sakura City is famous for its cherry blossoms, but there are groves of peach trees. Same with Izumi Park in Chiba City.

    I've heard good things from friends about Fuefuki City in Yamanashi: https://www.yamanashi-kankou.jp/foreign/english/spot/p1_4266.html It's still on my bucket list! :)

Under the radar winter festivals

There are some winter festivals that get a lot of hype, like the Sapporo Snow Festival, for instance. However, as someone who doesn't like crowds, I enjoy lower-key festivals a whole lot more. Do you have any favorite winter festivals that aren't really tourist-trappy? What makes them fun or unique?

Growing Mushrooms

Here's for a weird hobby. I just saw a video by an American Youtuber that I plan to watch about growing shiitake mushrooms. From what I've seen, it probably needs a bit of space. There was a local market in Fukuoka Prefecture that had a "mushroom room" where they grew and sold mushrooms like maitake and eringi. I also saw a video of a couple in Paris that built a mushroom growing shower room! The local hardware store sells "seeded" logs and shiitake mushroom growing kits. I have seen the logs around people's homes on occasion. It seems like a very odd, but sustainable hobby. Has anyone tried it, or is anyone interested to try this? I wonder how involved or beginner friendly it is.

How do you feel about nuclear power?

This week, the mayor of Niigata officially approved the restarting of a nuclear power plant in Kashiwazaki. My home country doesn't use nuclear power, so it makes me a bit uneasy. How do you feel about it? Would you be comfortable with a nuclear power plant operating in your prefecture?
