Otawa Azalea Hills in Yokosuka City is known as one of the most popular Azalea blossom spots. Between mid-April through to the beginning of May, you can see tens of thousands of beautiful azalea blossoms in various colors. If you're on Yokosuka Naval Base, Ikego Housing or surrounding area, the park is worth visiting this season. The azalea blossoms here are so beautiful, they make you feel as if you were in a dream.

Today’s Japanese phrase:

“Yumenoyo desu.” means I feel as if I were dreaming. ("yume" = dream, ".. noyo desu" = it is like.. )

You can use this expression when you are over the moon about something, as well.

Stay safe and enjoy this dreamy season.
