It is said that the emperor waved to the citizens of the prefecture from the balcony, and the view from there was amazing. The cherry blossoms were in full bloom🌸 and the garden was beautiful. #Yamagata #Government building #Taisho Romance #Cherry blossoms #Spring 0 yen trip #Yamagata sightseeing #Retro
